Translation of Cyrillic Markings
Permalink   

 

This is outside the forum time frame but I'd like a translation of the markings on a Russian cannon captured during the Crimean War (1853-4) and

given the Colony of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). The cannon is located at the Anglesea Barracks, Hobart.

Regards,

Charlie

Thanks.

Is the Aleksandrovsky arsenal in St Petersburg?

The line "chief Butenev-1" is bit puzzling - could it be the official who accepted the gun?

Regards,

Charlie
