Hi Everyone,

We are currently conserving a pair of mid-to- 19th century naval
cannon carriages that hold  14-pound demi-culverin Spanish napolenoic
war bronze cannons.

One thing that we need is a reproduction cannon elevation screw. One
carriage has its elevation screw intact (it is iron) and the other is
missing.

Does anyone know of any vendors that carry these? The only other
option is to have one custom made by a  machinist / welder and I want
to exhaust the off-the-shelf options first.

It my searching on the web I found numerous sites / vendors that
fabricate scale (model) historic cannons and a couple that deal in
originals - but next to nothing in full scale reproductions / parts.

All suggestions will be appreciated!

Happy Holidays!
Dave
