German born blacksmith Jakob Liseherx, living in Carleton Place, has spent 11 years in Ontario producing four Falconette cannons for the Indian affairs department and one for the National War Museum. He forged each 120 to 400 year old reproduction by hand, 150 hours per piece, using fire anvil and hammer without electricity. His Falconette reproductions cost about 1200 dollars each, far cheaper than the government estimate of 35000 to 10000. The museum cannon arrived in late January after a Munich museum contact provided guidance.
