I am far from a expert, but my guess, it is not the real deal.
Looking forward to other people giving information. It is a nice little piece, so can see it being bought.

The angle on the vent hole looks to new and the trunnions look suspicious.
But there does seem to be some numbers on the breach just behind the vent hole. But you need to remember I am just guessing on my part. It would be nice if I was wrong. We need some more help.

looks old. a signal cannon from a coasting sloop. these signals were made hodge podge and cheaply for their use was strictly communications on the water. also the touch hole is a bigger diameter like old ordnance. plus no weld beads on the trunnions.
