Thanks Michael. Hopefully Fernando can tell us whether the Portuguese Army had a model exactly like this, because as far as I can tell this one is really a Spanish mountain gun "of 4." The auction house, although knowledgeable in antique arms, doesn't have an overwhelming knowledge of artillery and I think made some bad assumptions on this one.

Here's the official Spanish Army drawing of their "mountain gun of four."
