Hi Everyone,

I thought you might want to know about the debut of the NEW Winchester Model 98 Double Signal Cannon. The first new model signal cannon produced under the Winchester brand since 1903. Here’s the press release:

Dunlap Cannon Co. Unveils Winchester Model 98 Double Signal Cannon

Sandusky, MI — Dunlap Cannon Co. proudly announces the launch of the all-new Winchester Model 98 Double Signal Cannon, a dramatic evolution of its iconic Model 98. Produced and sold exclusively by Dunlap Cannon Co., this double-barreled powerhouse pays homage to over a century of American tradition with a bold new twist. 

Introducing the Model 98 Double Signal Cannon
Inspired by the original Model 98 cannon introduced in 1903, the Model 98 Double is a side-by-side, breech-loading cannon designed to fire two 10-gauge blank shotshells simultaneously or independently. Maintaining the same high standards of craftsmanship, this cannon features blued or nickel plated barrel options, a cast-iron carriage, and an unmistakable presence that elevates ceremonies, celebrations, and special events. 

“The idea for the Model 98 Double came from watching how people actually use signal cannons—race officials, yacht clubs, reenactors, and patriotic event organizers—often need a quick follow-up shot or a louder, more commanding salute, and traditionally that meant using two separate cannons. We knew there was a better way. The 98 Double is our answer to those moments that demand more impact.” — John Dunlap, Owner, Dunlap Cannon Co.

Like its single-barrel predecessor, the Model 98 Double is proudly manufactured in the United States using American-sourced raw materials and assembled with rigorous attention to detail. Each cannon reflects the enduring legacy of quality, performance, and patriotic pride associated with the Winchester brand.

Coming June 2025
The Model 98 Double Signal Cannon will be available in a limited initial release through WinchesterSignalCannon.com at the end of June 2025. The cannons are exclusively sold and distributed by Dunlap Cannon Co. Collectors, event organizers, and enthusiasts can now experience an even more commanding version of this timeless piece of Americana.

Winchester Model 98 Double Signal Cannons can be found at WinchesterSignalCannon.com.

MSRP: $3,699 – $3,999
