The gun has a rounded cascabel and a prominent concave vent field (10.2mm diameter) with a comparatively large vent. The barrel is corroded and worn but is mostly plain with a slightly thickened first reinforce. The muzzle is defined by a groove and is very slightly thickened (at 6.2mm). The trunnions are comparatively long and slender (29.3mm wide). The surface is heavily-corroded with a dark brown corrosion.
