This blank firing signal cannon is approximately 1/3 scale and, I believe, is a copy of an American Civil War cannon. The cannon was a home built project and is in fully working order. As a decorative item it is legal to own without the need for a license and in the UK, 12 Bore blanks can be purchased online or from a gunsmith.

I am unsure as to how close a copy of the original cannon this one is, but this cannon operates by opening the breech and inserting a blank cartridge – much like a giant shotgun.

The cannon has a total length of 160cm and is 78cm at its widest. The wheels stand 59cm high and the barrel measures 104cm in length.

The cannon has some scuffs and wear to its black finish. A coat of matt black paint would return it to new and would be a good idea if the cannon is to be displayed outdoors. The barrel elevation screw is a nice decorative detail.

The cannon is fired by gently tugging on a lanyard that is attached once the firing mechanism is cocked.
