At first with out the powder can I thought it was a 3 or 6 pndr. then I enlarged the plaque and found it was a 24pndr.
interesting markings George II so it should have been made sometime between 1727 and 1760 Yet it I am reading the
breech right it was made in 1718 
? which is before his reign ..... older gun later marked GR2?
by the time of the American revolution this because of its age may have been considered a 2nd class or 3rd class
gun.......... I like the "US" surcharge. Any idea on the crown over "M"?
