Taken: March 16, 2009
Caption: Rifled 6-pdr Field Gun Model 1841
Additional Description: Making for a good comparison between the models is this rifled 6-pdr on the other side of the tablet. Produced in 1853 by Ames Manufacturing, the gun was later rifled with 8 grooves, while retaining the 3.67-inch bore size. This piece weighed 883 pounds when inspected by Louis A. de Barth Walbach. It carries the registry number 433 on the muzzle. Note the stadia sight bracket at the breech.
