Canon Identification

[GregCW1863]

I found two cannons on pedestals in a Pennsylvania campground, but they are not like anything I've seen. Owner swears they are real and were found buried in a barn. It appears to be a smoothbore and about 3" in diameter. Overall length is about 70". Could find no markings, but they have been painted many times. Help?????

If I may ask sir, where was this camp ground?

The profile looks like a model 1841 but the bore doesn't match those. Its not a 3 inch field gun as its not rifled.

You can see a casting seam in photo #3 and #4, therefore they are decorative replicas.

The cannons are pretty unusual looking to me. I would believe that they are decorative. I see some of those from time to time.

Did the owner say the guns were "real" or did he say they were "original"??.....There is a BIG difference because, yes, they ARE "real" (as in they can be seen, touched, etc), BUT they may or may not be "original" from a specific time period.

Thanks for the replies. It appears they are decorative copies. Something just didn't look right. Again, thanks.
