Where cannons present another legal question is who exactly has the title to the particular piece of artillery. The old saying that \u201cpossession is nine-tenths of the law\u201d is never technically true, but when it comes to cannons there is another important consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While\u00a0a clear title\u2014similar to a car or other vehicle\u00a0title\u2014likely\u00a0doesn\u2019t include vintage cannons that were imported from exotic lands or smaller artillery pieces that were war souvenirs, the issue is actually far grayer than one might expect. The reason is that many antique cannons, field guns and other pieces of artillery could be U.S. military property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t go near a piece of artillery that didn\u2019t have a clear, clean title. A clear provenance has to show legal ownership and not just a chain of custody,\u201d noted Graf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because, technically, an old cannon could be in someone\u2019s collection, yet it is still very much the legal property of the U.S. military. This could be a piece of artillery that the U.S. Army captured and was never sold as surplus. Instead it could have been \u201cloaned\u201d at some point, and never released from the Army\u2019s ownership. Over the years, cannons have traded hands to the point that collectors may believe that they are the legitimate owners. In fact, this happens far more often than it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToo many current owners of field guns don\u2019t realize that the pieces may have been stolen from cemeteries, memorials or battlefields,\u201d warned Graf. \u201cFortunately\u2014for the organizations, not the current owners\u2014these missing artillery pieces are easier than ever to identify as a result of strong Internet communication channels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It isn\u2019t just \u201cstolen\u201d pieces, either. Oftentimes cannons have been wrongly sold off by old museums and veterans groups, when the sellers didn\u2019t realize they didn\u2019t technically have ownership of the artillery pieces. For this reason, collectors shouldn\u2019t rush out to a VFW hall that is closing its doors and offer to buy any of the decorative items gracing its lawns. Those items are very likely still U.S. military property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a reminder, field guns\u2014as well as military vehicles, helicopters or naval ordnance\u2014that came from closed VFW halls, Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) halls or American Legion posts generally never belonged to the organizations in the first place,\u201d said Graf. \u201cMost were on loan from Federal sources.
