Unbelievable Pieces of United States History!

A Fantastic Pair of Revolutionary War Bronze Cannons

Paul Revere Bronze Cannon

Most likely made by Paul Revere in his Boston foundry. These were used in the Battle of Penobscot Bay on his ship the Springmain.

Revolutionary War Bronze cannon American Bronze Cannon

These cannons measure 3 feet 9 inches each from breech ring to muzzle and 4 feet 1.5 inches in overall length. They have a 3.125 inch bore and weigh an estimated 150-200 lbs. each. The guns are numbered 395 and 397 with the numbers being punched on the face of the right-hand trunnion on each.

Markings: A very large raised Indian with a bow in his right hand and sheaf of arrows in his left.

One cannon has the original middle sight with markings (another could be easily made from this sample for the second gun). Both cannons are exactly the same, except one does not have the original sight.

These cannon were partially restored and fired in the 1960s during a "Beating the Retreat Ceremony" in Sydney, Australia. The ceremony was hosted by the Australian Army and visitors from an American artillery enthusiasts group from Boston attended. There should be no problems in firing them now for smoke and noise and possibly for live fire.

This fantastic pair of cannons are currently located in Australia where they have been in one family's possession since 1880! We can export then to anywhere in the world.
