My Fathers cannon

[stewburner]

I has just acquired my Father's CVA. 69 cal. Napoleon III Field Gun with no operater's manual , The barrel is marked SPAIN on the top between the trungens and BLACK POWDER ONLY on the underside. It is fully vented and has a removable breech plug. The carriage has all it parts and is fully functional with no damage. My Sister said that He had fired it off evey Forth of JULY and NEW YEARS eve. She also said he only payed $ 154.95 less shipping. Any help would be appreciated in the care and feeding of this cannon. Stewburner
