Regimental Cannon of the 7th Virginia
The Seventh Virginia Regiment currently fields a 2-pound Gun on a "Galloper" Carriage. The gun is a light field piece that was used by faster moving infantry, rifle and cavalry units. The Maryland Militia purchased wheels and axle from an Amish Wheel Wright and built the carriage themselves from plans drawn from historical record. The tube was made by South Bend Replicas and is a reproduction of a swivel gun from the Gun Boat Philadelphia used on Lake Champlain by Benedict Arnold.
The Seventh Virginia Artillery Company is an attached artillery unit: we portray artillery troops who live, march and fight with the infantry battalion.
