Looks like more "Scouts" than "Gunners". Those shells make a nice hand-full. :D :D

Great photo, do you know the ethnicity of the Scouts. Wouldn't mind a Hotchkiss in my back yard, either. What a 4th of July hoot.

The canister round had 30 50cal balls. You could definitely keep the squirrels out your bird feeders with that! 8)
Thanks for these pics Sam. Keep'em coming. I was born a century too late.
