Op vrijdag 4 juni 1999 via de heer Grijpma ( Groningen ) gekocht uit de verzameling van de heer H.L. Visser ( Wassenaar )
Omdat er nauwelijks materiaal voorhanden is voor de bestudering van Nederlandse 16e-19e -eeuwse wapens, heeft de heer Visser besloten dat voordat er stukken uit zijn verzameling zouden worden verkocht of deze mogelijk geheel uiteen zou vallen, er een wetenschappelijke catalogus moest worden gemaakt. De catalogus of 'the Netherlands in the Collection of H.L. Visser'. Zwolle, Waanders, 1996. Op de volgende pagina's van Volume II, Ordnance zijn verwijzingen naar kanon en gieter: 8, 64, 77, 93, 94 118, 119. Visser onderhandelt medio 1999 met de Staat der Nederlanden tot overname van zijn verzameling. Besloten werd dat er een gedeelte van de verzameling wordt afgestoten.
B. Grijpma kocht de stukken die in de catalogus van de verzameling Visser met foto's en / of tekeningen zijn gedocumenteerd.
Conditie;
Het kanon is in zeer goede staat, geheel origineel. Niet gerestaureerd o.i.d. Mooie boring, gegoten rond de kern, nooit uitgeboord. Heeft diverse markeringen met een prachtig 'verhoogde letters' VOC-A logo. Duidelijk Amsterdams 'inspectie' merk. De meeste andere markeringen (C. CRANS. I.Z.A. 1747) zijn leesbaar, hoewel op sommige plekken zwak door gebruik.

Provenance; Visser catalogue no. HV C76 (592) Purchased on Friday 4 June 1999 via Mr. Grijpma (Groningen) from the collection of Mr. H.L. Visser ( Wassenaar ) Because there is hardly any material available for the study of Dutch 16th-19th century weapons, Mr Visser decided that before any pieces from his collection would be sold or it would possibly fall apart completely, a scientific catalogue had to be made. The catalogue of 'the Netherlands in the Collection of H.L. Visser'. Zwolle, Waanders, 1996. On the following pages of Volume II, Ordnance there are references to cannon and caster: 8, 64, 77, 93, 94 118, 119. In mid-1999 Visser negotiated with the State of the Netherlands for the takeover of his collection. It was decided that part of the collection would be sold. B. Grijpma bought the pieces that are documented in the catalogue of the Visser collection with photos and/or drawings.
Condition;
The cannon is in very fine condition, completely original and untouched. Has never been restored. Beautiful bore, cast around the core, never drilled out.
Has various markings with a beautiful 'raised letters' VOC-A logo. Clear Amsterdam 'inspection' mark. Most of the other markings (C. CRANS. I.Z.A. 1747) can be read, although weak from wear in some areas.

This model cannon were made for example to give away to shareholders and clients who participated or gave instructions for making the big guns. This cannon was a gift that has been given to the Directors or Clients of the Ostindisch Huis (Oost-Indisch Huis). The cannon has the markings ‘ OH ‘( Oost-Indisch Huis ) with the Amsterdam town mark, further it marks Pieter Seest Anno 1757. This is a very scarce and early Seest ‘signal’ cannon that once was the property of the Headquarters of the VOC Amsterdam.
The East India House ( Oost-Indisch Huis ) is a building in the center of Amsterdam as management and administration served for the Amsterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company (VOC 1602 - 1798). In addition to the meetings of the 20 directors of the Amsterdam Chamber, were also usually the meetings of the ‘Heren XVII’, the 17-member central administration of VOC. The Oost-indisch Huis was the first building that was built specifically for the VOC.
