1894 Driggs-Schroeder 6 pdr surviving

Does anyone know the whereabouts of any surviving D-S 6 pounders? I have
found one in a private collection (its for sale if anyone is interested)
only.

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

Maybe the naval aircraft connection is that they were being shot AT.

Maybe the aircraft carrier was being shot at by the six-pounder/

Red Rider

Was not this 6 pounder installed on the Navalized version of the Farley
Fruitbat?

Only Mk X and later, if memory serves.

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.

Then there are the 33-pounders [aka 105mm howitzer] used in some
variants of "Puff the Magic Dragon" et seq.

I wasn't being totally facetious. ;-

Quite a few WW2 aircraft carried guns in the 6 pounder size range for
anti shipping use, the DH Mosquito and B-25 both come to mind.

The Mosquito carried the QF 6pdr Class M Mark I and as well as
attacking German shipping downed at least one JU-88 !

The B-25H could carry a 75mm gun IRC.
