I got this picture from my brother in law.
Just wondering if anybody can help Identify them.
I know they are not the best pics in the world but it is what I have.
Just kind of curious. Possibly 1500-1700 big time gap but it is the info I have.

It would help to know the location.

Yeah sorry Lima Peru

No expert opinions here, but from the looks of them I wouldn't be surprised if they float.

They just look strange. Very smooth and painted.

I don't know something from nothing around cannons, but I would suppose it would take more than pictures to really identify something like that. I hear markings are pretty important too.

If they were cast at an "official" armoury, they would have certainly included the date of casting and the coat of arms of the king/queen under which they were manufactured, but without those markings, we've really got nothing to go on.

ok thanks

You know, I can't think of many other websites where a request to help identify cannons would not be considered unusual.

Looks like they are not real metal, which kind of means, decoration only. Nobody has bothered to clamp the barrels down, which also screams decorations only.

The Doc is out now. :cool:

Look like an assortment of San Martin cannons cast looking there.
I'd guess since they are on display only they reson they aren't tied down, probably why they down have wheeled carriages also.

The only one that even looks half right is the brass/bronze colored one. The others don't appear properly cast. Angles near muzzle appear wrong also. I suspect that these are merely display pieces as the mortar work on the brick work also appears new.

There is an artillery section on the N-SSA web site that if you post there, there might be someone there that knows what they are. www.n-ssa.net

For the record, I opened this thread fully hoping to see Walker Colts, or at least repros. :)

There's an artillery expert at The Company of Military Historians, John Morris. You might want to try posting it at their website.

That's where I was going too.
