I don't think this small bronze cannon or howitzer is Civil-War-related, but since it and its twin turned up in the US I guess there is a remote possibility. Anyway, I'm trying to ID the founder and his/their location. I've posted on the Ebay Antiques forum, the Company of Military Historians forum, with no answers yet, so this is another try. Maybe someone has read something, or knows someone doing research on British ordnance, or ???
What little I know, and a link to the other photos of the piece: http://gs19.inmotionhosting.com/~milita ... read/10971 (http://gs19.inmotionhosting.com/~milita8/cmh/member/member.cgi/read/10971)
Outstanding characteristics of this piece are the relatively large bore, and the round/square rimbases
