5 feet long, only mark on it is "1882." The best view of it I could find was in this article:

They sure didn't give much information in the article that would help identify it. The absence of a muzzle swell would put in a later period than 1812. Sure would be nice to see the breech end better. It appears to have a reinforce band on the breech. The 1882 may or may not be a date.

It almost looks like a band that the trunnions are attched to and sweated on top the tube. Where the trunnions are attched it looks like right behind that the diameter is slightly smaller.
It's made of Iron, just cannot see enough of the tube.

The ReEnacting Club I belong to is based near there. I've put a query out. We've done events at Ft Trumble so someone may know.
