It was cast with classic English 18th century production characteristics indicating production around 1780. It has a 2" bore meaning it fired a one pound cannon ball. According tot he Tower of London One pounder Cannon are referred to as FALCONETS, the tube measures 33" overall and is 6 1/2" wide at the trunnions and is of classic proportions. This was most certainly would have been mounted as a swivel gun or on a rolling wooden ship's mount.

The breech bears native engravings applied long after this gun left the foundry.
