18th century cannon or ornamental cannon?

[Abes]

Hello,
New member here, I recently purchased this antique cannon. It was sold to me as 18th century, possibly Dutch. I was told it had been under water. I believe it to be a swivel gun. I was wondering if anyone can identify it's nationality or verify that's it's 18th century.
It's fairly pitted as you can see from the pics.
Dimensions are:
Length 27.5 inches including cascabel
Barrel 26 inches
Width at breech 3.5 inches
Width at muzzle 3 inches
Bore width 1.5 inches
Trunion diameter 1 3/8 inches
Weight 47 pounds
I don't plan on attempting to fire it but would like to make a display if I can find a yoke.
Thanks for any comments

I should add that the Dutch bought their cast-iron guns from Sweden as they did not have the resources to cast iron in the Netherlands, so it could still have been intended for Dutch service. That shape of cascables suggests an 18th century date.

Thanks!

He believes that its real because he paid someone a LOT of money for it probably... and in that case would never want to admit he was duped... Maybe ?

Paid $367 for it at auction

We have visited this cannon before... have we not ?
I shed my opinions in the last thread.

I have posted this question a 2nd time at the suggestion of "vpnavy" who said Revolutionary War forum may have more info not because I believe I was duped as one said

Just to be clear, I'm not saying you WERE duped, I will say that at $350 I might have bought that just because it looks cool as shit.. Something to stick in front of your house and tell friends that you are a Civil War buff ...
