    Newbie hello. Hi everyone, so this is my first post. After several visits to the Royal Naval Historic dockyard in Portsmouth last year, the bug has really bitten me, and nearing retirement age decided on a new hobby. There seems to be a huge knowledge base here, so looking forward into broadening my basic skill set with you guys So I purchased a gun barrel on eBay which looks to be a Bronze casting. The Trunnions are not separate (part of the casting) The touch hole looks oversized, maybe drilled larger to stop it being functional? Strict UK gun laws make me think this was at some time a working, functional weapon, maybe a Signal cannon? Any info is greatly appreciated. Regards Kev.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
