In Response To: Spanish Navy 1-pounder Gun: Extinct or just elusive? (John Morris)

A gentleman named Sami with whom I've exchanged emails about artillery, somehow saw this topic today and found what is almost certainly one of these super-rare guns in the Military Museum of Seville, Spain, on what must be an original carriage with an original limber.

Thanks again, Sami! In pre-internet days it might have taken me years to get this information if I could have gotten it at all.

Now I'll email the museum and see if I can get more information and better photos.
