I picked up this old cannon lock that was recovered from a shipwreck about 30 years ago, along with some other stuff (a cannonball, bronze nails and spikes). I'm trying to pin down where it is from and how old it is. It looks like an English design, but the pan as a bit deeper than I've seen on other pics I've seen. I'm hoping this feature can help me come closer to a date of manufacture. Can anyone give me better info about this?
There are these 9 notches along the bottom, which I assume to mean this is from cannon #9 on the ship.
