This gun was placed in the National Cemetery April 13th, 1874. It originally had a shell placed on top of the tube but it lost that at some point after being placed.
The eagle on the iron tube is acually engraved into the metal which you can't really see unless you are up close. I had seen the gun numerous times before as it is placed on the main tourist road in the cemetery.
Recently I stopped and got out of the car and took some close up photos.
