Location information found for two surviving Ordnance Rifles

This describes postwar locations, but I think any documentation regarding Civil War ordnance, by registry number, is worth posting.

OR reg num 58 (HOP say it's 153) is mounted vertically in cement in the gatepost at Fort Washington NP, MD, along with reg num 827. There are also, IIRC, 2 20 pdrs also in the gatepost, but I could not get their numbers.

In all, Ft. Wa also has:

1819 24 pdr, mounted en barbette;
1819 SG Mortar; mate to Ripley Fig. III-6, including West Point trophy plate;
1841 6 pdr Ames regnum 33, 1842 [nice floral engraving; known as "Barbara"];
1841 24 pdr Flank Defense Howitzer, Alger, 1846;
1857 12 pdr Revere; reg num 253, 1862;

Also, while I was there, 1977-80, I gathered up as many as I could of the Lorton Repops that were sitting around the back lots of other Nat Cap parks to construct a small ordnance park.
