Model Black Powder Cannon

[CJKarl]

I have an old black powder model cannon. It's a 12 pounder on a navel carriage.
I believe it's .69 cal.
I'm looking for some websites that may give me some info on it. I've seen a similar one in a little better condition for some fairly serious money. My searching isn't turning much up.
Plenty of sites of full size cannon, but not models.

I'll post up a pic. The dust is about 1/4" thick on it.

I found the EXACT cannon on an auction site. They're asking $4500.00 for it.

Here's mine. I should probably have a pro restore it for that kind of $$$.
