The cannon with the brass plate on top of the breech is an early experimental breechloader of the "eccentric breechblock" type. I took this photo in April 1982, but I didn't take notes on what the plate had engraved on it. Does anyone know, or can you find out? I need to know what's on that plate plus any other information I can get regarding this cannon, for a research project.
