My "lost" cannon question

[mnhorse]

Since I've moved and gotten a new computer , I've lost files and picture.
The cannon in question is American Civil War vintage. It was small, only had a 36" tube. It was designed and manufactured in Iowa or Illinois in very limited numbers. It was only issued to a single Cavalry Regiment, again Iowa or Illinois.
I think a member of this forum has one .
There is also a re-enactment unit that has one some place like Missouri.
I'm drawing a complete blank....even the name associated with it would get me started.
Thanks,
Richard

You seem to be referring to the Woodruff Gun. I have an original example in my collection that was likely from 4th Iowa Cavalry service. They were in service with several Federal cavalry, and light artillery units including 10th Illinois Cavalry, 2nd Iowa Cavalry, 4th Iowa Cavalry, and 1st Illinois Light Artillery, Battery K . This is the link:

Thank you Ralph! I can now rebuild my file, even if I have to start over.
Working on a reproduction project with a friend. Hopefully, it will result in a 2/3 scale Woodruff (maybe even a full scale)
