<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 150621, member: 54&quot;]Present owner has decided to conserve it and I think he&#039;s using hand tools so there shouldn&#039;t be an issue with disfiguring things.&nbsp; The royal cypher as already partly gone due to past corrosion, but as you noticed it still has the basic appearance required.&nbsp; Notice the little 3 entwined on the upper left of the cypher, for Mad King George aka George III of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was puzzled by my inability to find the weight marking; usually on similar British cannons it is a very large, bold set of six numerals in three pairs, separated by hyphens, on top of the breech, indicating hundred weights and fractions.&nbsp; Not there on this piece!&nbsp; After a bit of book- research, I learned the weight may be marked inconspicuously under the cascabel (button thingy on rear end) so I asked the owner to look there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
