Spanish brass cannon made in Barcelona, dated 1766, showing Charles III monogram, on antique replica wooden carriage. 105 lb (the carriage another 33 lb), 32" long, 5-1/4" at breech, 9" across trunnions, 5" muzzle with 2" bore. A very attractively patinated piece with choice markings, including a full crowned-CR monogram above ordinal III over wreath for Charles III of Spain and BARCELONA DE 20 AGOSTO DE 1766 on ring between cascabel and breech, number 3's punched into both trunnions, plain cascabel with loop on bottom, a very useful size for display, especially on its faithfully reproduced wooden carriage complete with quoin and straps. It is interesting to note how similar this piece is in size and design to the 1791 specimen of Charles IV that we sold in Auction #10 (lot 1349). (Packing and shipping to be invoiced separately.) With photo-certificate.
