What is this? Unidentified cannon

[Jonl51]

Greetings all,
Can some of our artillery experts lend a hand in identifying this cannon please?
I have been told there are no names, dates or marks on it, seems strange. Replica? Carriage is sure shot. Thank you!!

Replica . The bore of the tube would not be so much smaller in the real thing .

Yep. The whole things wrong and there's not even a primer vent.

Its a home made job but the barrel appears to have been turned so someone put a lot of work into it.

Does it appear to have two rather pronounced cracks in the barrel?

 

[Jonl51]

Thank you gents!

Yep. I think the touch hole is on the bottom and they cracked the tube firing and someone turned it over.

Redbob,
They say the barrel is not cracked, just the paint chipping off. Thanks!

 

[Jonl51]

From the pictures, I thought those might be cracks too.

 

[UCVRelics]

It is a cracks and the outer barrel is aluminum with a steel insert as you can see the rust on the end of the barrel and the aluminum showing on the bottom where the paint has come off.

Is it a replica of a specific known cannon model/type?
