Wayne,
No, I do not think it is O.T.! I have enjoyed the pictures very much!
Any chance to have a good picture of both sides of the cannon showed in
photo no. 58? Well, a photo of the front will be very appreciated too,
but, perhaps, it is not possible to take a picture of it.
I would like to make one (non-firing, of course, don't forget I am in
Italy, not in Texas... VERRY strict gun control, here!!) for my home, which
I have called "FORT ALAMO". Well, no doubt you have noticed my e-mail
address... I plan to have the barrel made of aluminum, it will be less
heavy for moving.
Anybody knows where I can buy the wheels with the iron reinforcement all
around, as in the above picture??
Speaking of Forts: I have visited Fort Lewis and Clark in Astoria, Oregon
(well, it is a replica, too!). But no cannons there...
Regards,
Raimondo - MVPA 15878 & IMPS 2320

(still looking for an AN-29-C telescopic antenna for my SCR-659-H jeep radio)
