Subject: Re: 10 NOVEMBER by GRIS on 2017/11/11 0:53:23 ALL SET FOR THE PUBLIC; TOMORROW YOU WILL BARELY BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE AISLES FOR THE CROWD. HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW SO FAR IS AN ORIGINAL 12 POUNDER MOUNTAIN HOWITZER ON THE PRAIRIE CARRIAGE. THE GUN-TUBE IS ORIGINAL FOR SURE, MADE IN 1863, THE MOUNT MAY BE PARTIALLY RESTORED. DISPLAYED BY ONE OF THE BIG AUCTION HOUSES, IT'S JUST A TAD TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME :-) A HOWITZER WOULD BE NO FUN ANYWAY IF YOU COULDN'T SHOOT SHELL. SHELLS ARE EXPLOSIVE DEVICES ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT WITH ALL IT'S ATTENDANT TAX AND PAPER WORK. SHOT AND CANISTER WOULD NOT BE NEAR SO MUCH FUN. |
