Does anyone know the whereabouts of any surviving D-S 6 pounders? I have

Just out of curiosity, Al, which naval aircraft was equipped with the
1894 Driggs-Schroeder 6-pounder?

That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. The British had
plans in 1916 to install a recoilless Davis 12-pounder gun
and later a 12-pounder Naval Landing Gun in the Admiralty
Type 1000, also known as the AD.1, to shell German ships
from the air. It didn't work out.
The French put a Hotchkiss 47mm cannon in the nose of a
Tellier flying boat as an antisubmarine plane in 1920.
