HMS Winchester

Two 6lb Cannon Balls, Double, encrusted

SKU/ID: FO-0102

Short Description

An incredible and rare item. 90% of the cannon balls we have removed the encrustation on were in very good to excellent/museum grade condition. Many have broad arrows stamped in them (over 50%) These are very solid and in great condition.  Unlikely, but possible, this is bar shot (two cannon balls joined by a bar to cause more damage to rigging).

This item will require encrustation removal and reverse electrolysis restoration. You will be the first to see and touch them in over 300 years! It is a very cool and fun process, but has to be done with care. We can provide complete reverse electrolysis setups, do it for you, or are happy to offer advice.
