Assuming it's pre 1898?

I'm more interested in what looks like the break action martini in the back

Found the video of your gun on CGN!

You find a mold for solids?

I got a 7 bore cannon and they fit 2oz fishing weights nicely. At 5 bore, a 3oz weight may fit.

I was gonna get one custom made from Ballmolds out of the UK he made me one for my .995 cannon does any size up to 2 inch for cannons. They cost around 56 pounds for under 1 inch then between 1 to 2 is 116 pounds sterling.
