Original 12# Bronze Cannon

[jamesp1960]

I am with the a reenactment group here in Wisconsin. My unit has an original 12# Bronze gun. We are attempting to locate information on this gun. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The muzzle would be the best place to start, if the foundry markings are still present. The following link will provide some of the basics.

Lots of new research and databases out there for such things... if you can provide the data on the muzzle face and trunnion markings would be a good place to start... once determined who made it and when...
