Nice photo of a historical piece. Do you have a photo from the other end showing breech mechanism, etc...? Keep up the good work! :-)

I'm familiar with the battle of Mirbat, and the actions of Staff Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba, who single handedly fired one of these, they usually have a crew of 3-6.He earned a VC but never got it.... I'm guessing this one is in France(?) Nice detail in the zoom.
