The English 9 pounder RML Field Gun Mk II DURR number 264
The 9 pounder RML Field gun Mark II of 8 cwt was taken into service in England in 1873 and was designated “For Naval Service”.
These field guns were not intended for use at sea but were meant for use by naval personnel when they were deployed as land forces.
It is likely that this gun and carriage were transferred to the SA Navy when the Royal Navy left South Africa.
