Hi,
I am wondering if anyone can help identify / date a small iron cannon
(swivel gun?) found by a beachcomber in southeast Alaska? Russians,
British, Spanish, and Americans were all in this region during the late
18th and 19th centuries. I have posted a photo and dimensions at:
http://www.alaska.net/~oha/Kake-Cannon/. Sorry for the cross-posting --
this was also sent to SUBARCH.
Thanks,
Dave
