This exact gun listed dimensionally and by weight in 1833 Ordnance report by Commodore Catesby Jones was once at the Washington Navy Yard and listed as origin unknown along with other Revolutionary War cannon.

This iron 4-pounder is a good candidate for being used during the American Revolution though there are no discernible maker’s marks. Cannon is typical of what the Americans used.
