I picked this up recently. Totally out of my usual collecting zone but an interesting bit of history.
Without doubt sea recovered so I'm prepared for the worst as its 149 years old. Nice markings.
Weight just over 9 pounds in weight.
Calibre 3 inches
Length 7 inches.
Solid and INERT
Dave.

Thats a nice one Dave, i have seen a few with the jacket split, but yours seems to be in one piece.
