Guns at Noon and Gun Racks
There probably is a bunch of words in the English language that bears the word “noon”. I said probably since I don’t have an exact number to put in here. But since this is a blog for guns, gun storage racks and anything in between, you will be reading more on guns and noon. I think it’s pretty obvious.
A little trivia for you: The word noon is derived from the Latin word “nona hora”, which stands for the ninth hour of the day. This is so because back in the medieval days, the day starts at 6 in the morning and the ninth hour is at 2 in the afternoon. But by the year 1100 CE, the meaning of the word has been changed to midday, thus, the word noon that we use now is also referred to as 12 noon.
Guns are made in different forms and sizes. It can be humongous and at times, there are miniature versions of it too. This one below isn’t so big either.
If you feel like firing a cannon on midday, then take to consideration this miniature noon-day gun.
It’s made of brass with an adjustable magnifying glass and a fixed white marble base. The overall diameter of this beauty is only 23cm. Imagine that!
