39" from muzzle to cascabel, these lovely cannons have three turnings, reinforced breeches, 2 - 1/2" bores. CONDITION: Fantastic, with beautiful unpolished rich deep patination. Bores are patinated but smooth throughout. Though unmarked, these cannon correspond very closely to the French Model of 1786 2 - 1/2 pounder. Mahogany carriages with brass mountings appear to be 19th century, possibly earlier, and are in excellent condition for naval gun carriages throughout, still retaining wood quions, wooden wheels, and all necessary fittings. These handsome cannons would make a lovely addition to any gun room, or living room, and are of musem quality throughout. MZ
