I went to the Warren Rifles Confederate museum to day in Front Royal and they had a small cannon there they said was Jacksons signal cannon. Maybe this has already been covered as cannonmn seems on top of most "loose" cannons. Any way I have never seen a cannon with an iron muzzle cover retained by an iron rod pegged to the breech. The explinaton to me was that it was a British naval cannon. Small bore, maybe 1 1/4" and 36" long. No camera so no pictures. It was mounted on a carriage and had a small limber.
