Vertically cast, rough polished, bored to size and cleaned up. Polish to a high shine or leave as is. The barrel is approximately 27" long, 9" across the trunions, 4" across the muzzle and 4-1/2” at the breech. The bore is lathe turned to 1-5/8" as are the trunions. It has a crest cast on it for George the 3rd. Brass guns like this were used on naval vessels for the fighting tops, as swivel guns on the rails, as signal cannon and as life saving cannons. Or, you can mount it in a naval carriage if you want. A great display piece.
