The last member of any ruling dynasty tends to be demonized after their death to justify the legitimacy of their successors rule.

The red strike

God?! Didn't know you had a discord

Indeed...

anyone know anything about this cannon i’m trying to find info about it so we can restore it

it’s dated 1864

I’m not a metallurgist or nothing, but judging from the size and length the barrel maybe it’s some sort of howitzer for sieging? @obnoxiouswolf 2

This might help ^

No rifling so smoothbore

Isn’t that from the battle of bunker hill?

Sure does look like it

60 or 70 years later give or take

You should know this already God

Ik

Just saying

Hot

Union siege cannon. Looks king of similar no?

Sorta

But barrel length doesn’t match

More compensating

that one looks a bit fatter

also that one is too large

Yeah

got the right shape though

Like that ^

the back looks a bit different

Ye just to note, that is a 100 pound parrot rifle for reference

there was something that said 28 pound on the barrel

I think 100 pound is for the weight of the shot

Or something I’m not sure

^ that’s also a parrot rifle 100 pounds

This is from an auction but I think it’s the same gun

@obnoxiouswolf 2 again sorry for the ping. Just want to help. 😄
