but a real 200 year old artillery piece that still fires? The story behind the thing is pretty cool. Imperial England gave a lot of old equipment to cement the alliance between England and Nepal. IMA found out about this huge stash of classic 19th century military equipment and made a deal with the Nepalese government. Most of the equipment was in storage since the 1890's and are in pretty good shape. If you're into civil war reinactements for instance, IMA is selling partly restored 1860's era Enfield percussion cap rifles that are the same model used by both the North and South during the Civil War. The cost is much cheaper than other sources. With a bit of work the rifle can look almost new (depending on how well you do on filling or sanding the metal pitting).
But the cannon is definitely cool. Its an interesting piece of history.
