    It looks to be a light (10 or 20 pdr) parrot gun. Keep in mind that the barrel, breech and trunions (the cylinders connecting the gun to the mount) were cast as a single piece, with a reinforcing band of wrought iron wrapped around the breech. Your model has the trunions as a separate piece. The barrel also tapers along the length, and the muzzle often had a flair. The barrel also looks too long, especially the portion aft of the trunions.

    On a detail note, this was a rifled cannon, and the description and ID of the weapon were often engraved on the muzzle.
