S Smithbrown Bronze Member May 22, 2006 1,004 841 Dec 21, 2015 #4 it is iron, not bronze. Not sure about origins. If it wasn't for the raised vent block I would plump for Spain or France. You should look for marks, on the face of the trunnion or in front of the touch-hole. And late 18th, early 19th century date. Upvote 0
