In the US, this would be classed as a "detructive device". The National Firearms Act would require that such a cannon be already registered with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in order that possession, or transfer to another person be legal. Possession of the gun, or High Explosive ammo for the gun is not legal unless already registered. Violation of that law carries significant penalties, including jail and large fines. 0 -
Just like your German mortar you asked about; these items are heavily restricted in the United States and very few people collect them. What few examples that are in the country and available for sale are so rare that prices are impossible to estimate. Because of this the market is extremely limited and buyers are few. The cannon along with any surplus mortar, cannon, or other device which fires a cartridge or shell larger than 1/2" must have been in the United States prior to 01 November 1968 in order to be legal. If you have some sort of master plan that some how involves buying up these items cheaply in Norway and then selling them in the United States you can just forget all about it, because they cannot be imported. 0 -

When you find a crate of brand new Winchester Model 95 rifles or Colt Single Action Army pistols then you come right back here and let is know because items like are worth big money in teh USA! Mortars, cannons, and silencers: Items which are often not restricted in foreign countries have very tight controls here in this country and anything sitting overseas has no value since it cannot be imported. Values on foreign cannons and mortars are based on the very few legal examples already inside the country and with a tightly controlled set of rules for private ownership the market is virtually non existent for those foreign made items. 0 -
"No i dont have a master plan - exept finding some awnsers/ prices / marked ect. and in my mind Guns reasons with US - so i tryed looking "here first" - now i know that i have been looking for awnsers in the wrong place"
Don't be discouraged. This is the right place. And we told you that you can not have it here, or sell it to someone here.
On any item, whether it is a rare painting, etc. you will not get a good appraisal of the market selling price due to no sales having been conducted for us to tell you what they sold for. Best, Joe0 -
kewo...you might do a google and find a museum that is restoring a US P39 that would need that cannon and go from there. As many have told you, you have a tough mountain to climb in the US but a museum somewhere else might be in the market. Good luck! 0 -
Ref: 37mm ammo- there are a couple of different types. In addition to the propellant gunpowder, some of these were high explosive filled projectiles. Designed to detonate on impact. Please have yours inspected by an ordnance tech to be certain you are not holding the equivalent of a live hand grenade. 0 -

The only 37mm (for airborne use) projectile that was a 'solid' (no charge) was painted all blue, and was used for function testing of the aircraft gun. I doubt if any made it to the squadron, 'specially the Russkies, who wanted the 'boom' to go along with the 'bang'.
Since this came from an A/C that was downed during wartime operational patrol, it had contact fused explosive bullets. Best, Joe0 -
