This  model represents a US Navy 12-pounder, long-gun cannon, derived from the Royal Navy, Blomefield 1790, long-pattern (9 feet long), 12-pounder cannon weighing 1.9 tons (1714 kg).   Unlike its Royal Navy counterpart, the US Navy gun does not have a recoil rope ring.

Like other War of 1812-era sloops and brigs, the US Brig Niagara is believed to have carried two 12-pounder cannons.
 
Length = 9.4 cm (3.7 inches).
 
This model is also available in real brass or bronze from Shapeways (click here).

Although there were minor variations among real cannons, these models' scaled dimensions and details match dimensions from tables published in "British Smooth-bore Artillery: a Technological Study to Support Identification, Acquisition, Restoration, Reproduction, and Interpretation of Artillery at National Historic Parks in Canada" by David McConnell.  Their details were matched to those of surviving cannon.
