Neat cannons! I used to live in McKenzie, TN and used to love to go to Union City to browse around Dixie Gun Works. Turner Kirkland was a fine gentleman.

Those Canon are very cool !! Hey Norm, did you crawl down the barrel and dream you were the canon ball? lol i bought this pin at a garage sale for a dime . I wonder if any of y'all are familiar with it and it's designation ?



This is the closest insignia that I have seen to the pin.

Thanks Guys ! I appreciate any help or knowlege that you guys have. G
(man i hate to see these old medals at a garage sale. Some of these were earned with blood and life and it seems shameful that they have lost their meaning to these folks that sell them as junk. God Bless our Men.)
