Does anyone know the weight of a model 1857 Napoleon Cannon?

Others I'm sure will have specifics and exact weights, but if I recall, the tube alone weighed approx 1,200 lbs and the entire gun (tube + carriage) weighed in at approx 2,500 lbs. My books are not at hand and my Google is weak right now.

1227 lb. tube and 1128 lb carriage; 2355 lbs. total.

Coggins, Jack. Arms and Equipment of the Civil War;
Ripley, Warren. Artillery and Ammunition of the Civil War.

A quick online search says 2445 lbs. tube and carriage.
3865 lbs with limber and implements.
