If the barrel is brass and not bronze, I would be very careful.
Brass is a lot softer metal.
With just powder and wadding for sound and flame not so bad, but
if you put a ball in tightly packed, more breech pressure.
Very nice work and a nice looking piece.

Wonder how it would do for bowling pins !

You are absolutely correct, It is meant to be a signal cannon, Blank firing with light paper patch. It can fire a round ball with light loads and no Wadding, the bore is just slightly over sized for .50 Cal so a .50 cal ball is a loose fit.

my buddy had 1 of those and it was WAY COOL, we would pack it with powder and paper and light it. the bushes would lay over and EVERY car alarm around would be going off. LOUD AND FUN, what could be better

Cannon is still for sale, there was a miss-understanding about it's size. Please read post carefully as it is 21 1/2 inches total length with carriage, Barrel 11 1/4 inches.
