<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 4295637, member: 54&quot;]Still working this, on and off.&nbsp; I get best results when I spread projects like this over time and let the brain work on it in the background when I’m off doing other things, then revisit the materials after a while.&nbsp; Here are some of the things found so far under the assumption that the cannon was one of many of this general type used by Filipino insurgents against US troops 1898-1904.&nbsp; Two different small Spanish? cannons are shown in three photos, just to show readers how they were often mounted, without implying that either is “ours.”&nbsp; The two lists are my selections from longer lists based on possible matches of one or more of those names to the two sets of initials carved into the breech of the cannon.&nbsp; One set is definitely “CP” or “PC” for example, that could match Filipino General Cipriano Pacheco.&nbsp; But more information is required before he could be credibly connected to this cannon.&nbsp; For example, if we found that he’d surrendered to a USMC unit, that’d help make a connection.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/44aq50" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/44aq50" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/189102681@N07/shares/44aq50</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
