Perhaps can you show here some uncommon models of the "old artillery", like these cannon balls found in the wreck of the "VASA"

Memory lane trip

Brings back a lot of memories as I saw her when she was still being "watered down" with the mist, I dont thnk the cannon balls were on display in those days as I remember nothing about the armaments other than what had been recovered.

I also visited "Skansen" just a few yards away during the same visit.

Thanks for the links.
