Selling a whole bunch of Civil War and WWII stuff. I am a big auction guy. Love to try and find cool antiques and collectibles. It's great up north here in PA because of Gettysburg. They are selling a cannon from the civil war, might have to splurge. Selling a lot of old rifles from the Civil War too. Some nice Kentucky flintlocks being sold. Nothing better than getting in a bidding war for something you really want.
Going to an Auction Tomorrow...

MWes- eventually you will have enough fake memorabilia to run your own auction.
haha COA is legit I acutally sent it to PSA/DNA. Cost me $100. Sucks but atleast I know.
It's pretty well known that Michael Jackson never used a blue pen/marker. You got taken again, dude.
If that cannon were operable I would buy it in a heart beat. Would love to scare the ish outta the neighbors. They live just far enough away that they would have no idea WTF was going on.
OP, How much is that bad boy? Is it signed by Henry Hunt or Longstreet? Hold that thought. Just go ahead and buy it for me at the auction...get a COA and then pay the $100 to authenticate the COA and then contact me via this thread. TIA.

I am pretty sure it was made by the Krupp organization in 1881. If it ain't American, I don't want it.
"The company began to make steel cannons in the 1840s—especially for the Russian, Turkish, and Prussian armies. Low non-military demand and government subsidies meant that the company specialized more and more in weapons: by the late 1880s the manufacture of armaments represented around 50% of Krupp's total output. When Alfred started with the firm, it had five employees. At his death twenty thousand people worked for Krupp—making it the world's largest industrial company and the largest private company in the German empire. In the 20th century the company was headed by Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach (1870–1950), who assumed the surname of Krupp when he married the Krupp heiress, Bertha Krupp. After Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, the Krupp works became the center for German rearmament.."
Dude, It's not for you to keep. You are buying it for me. Just buy the thing already. ESPECIALLY if it was made in Germany. I am, after all, the Kaizer. Damn thing was probably made by some relatives of mine. Just buy it. See if they have any cannon balls as well. And powder. I need plenty of gun powder. A couple of barrels should do for starters. TIA.
