Allen is right. On this one I may have mentioned how hosed-up I thought the mounting was-to me obviously home-brew by a know-nothing who just wanted to display it-nothing wrong with that as long as no one uses it to re-write history. The tube and wrought-iron swivel mount themselves are original.

is that not an amphipious swivel? Boat hull for water, wheels for land, even a tiller for steering and aiming.  |

Well it isn't necessarily Asian and it is purpose modified. Not all merchant vessels were wooden sailing ships with rails. This one, for probable insurance purpose, was ship board and could easily be rolled on a deck to wherever required. It's called "Field Expediency". In this clever case, "Sea Expediency". Tropico sees the value in it as a bonified seafarer himself. http://www.vallejogallery.com/item.php?title=19th_Century_Iron_Swivel_Gun_by_Bailey_Pegg_&_Co.&category=Artifacts&id=2214. |

Greetings and salutations to Richard the lion appendaged; I almost flipped my chair over backwards when I saw your moniker at the head of a thread. If you're all done with your slumber, its time to start cutting the lumber. Welcome back!

Allen, I realized that but it does appear to be, not unlike an Asian cob-job. People who make do with nothing and until this century, got along well without Wally*World.  John, "Slumber" nothing!!! Until this morning, (Socialist that I am), I was wired-up like a terrorist and afraid to step out of the house except to go to the doctors to have the monitors removed.  BTW: Which appendage are you referring to  |

BTW: Which appendage are you referring to Now listen to me; I know that you're an old, dirty minded, foul-mouthed man, and I personally love you for it, but this is a G-Rated forum, and I think that its time for you to at least start trying to make an effort at conducting yourself in an appropriately sanitized manner.  I'm glad you're back! |
