This piece has been sittin at my cabin door for years. What is it? What is it's genisis?? What value??? What Fg should I use?????
I figure it musta been the 'starter' piece for the Oklahoma land Rush. The only markins I can find are the numerals '*183*' and 270 cast into the wheel web. It looks to be a combination of cast iron/steel with a wood and iron carriage. It's percussion fired [cord pull]; has an 18 inch barrel with a 1 3/16" bore -2 1/4" o. d. at muzzle; has an elevation wheel and some fittins on the side of the carriage. I spect it weighs about 80 lbs. or more. Too big to carry around; --too small to go to war. A pure curiousity....Longshot
