Maybe in a technical universities, a steel processing company building high pressure pipes or equipment e.g. for gass pipelines or nuclear power plants, or companies providing Non Destructive Testing services....

Why not bringing it self to the hospital just strap it around your leg with palster bandages and tell the doctors your leg might be broken

Well there is an idea

Something else though, i just watched the surface under a microscope to identify the blackish surface and the red/orange dots. At first i though the later was some sort of paint because it looks like some sort of banded patern at the socket area, but both the black as the orange might be some type of oxidation.
Would this be possible for any brass composite? Lead, or any other added metals inside the brass?

Edit: it might be a coating of red lead/ minium.

Very similar brass haquebuts guns in the Stockholm museum. No measurements given, but the smallest one seems of almost equal design as my bohemian cannon.

Sorry my ignorance, Marcus; is that an antitheft system ?

Your guess is as good as mine Nando, though i have a hard time seeing anyone pick pocketing them without suspicion

Well, you pick these things but you don't pocket them ... you bag them
