This is an Extremely Rare, Original British Royal Naval Gunther,Gunner\'s, Cannon 2 foot brass rule, ruler, from the 1770s. It was likely used during the Revolutionary War and is a unique piece of militaria. The ruler, also known as a Gunther Rule, would have been used to measure the size and caliber of cannons. This item was manufactured in the United Kingdom and is a highly sought-after collectible for those interested in Revolutionary War history and militaria.
The Revolutionary War (1775-83), also known as the American Revolution, arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britain’s 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown. Skirmishes between British troops and colonial militiamen in Lexington and Concord in April 1775 kicked off the armed conflict, and by the following summer, the rebels were waging a full-scale war for their independence. France entered the American Revolution on the side of the colonists in 1778, turning what had essentially been a civil war into an international conflict. After French assistance helped the Continental Army force the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had effectively won their independence, though fighting did not formally end until 1783.
This Extremely Rare 1770\'s 2 foot brass rule,ruler, Was made by Gilbert,London was used by the British Royal Navy to acquire the right distance for the Gunner to fire the Cannons on its enemies.
