Noble3" rifled cannon

Searching for information on a cannon manufactured by Noble Brothers foundry,Rome, GA and used by the Confederacy. There are no markings on surfaces that can be seen except for its weight, 954. The tube is a 3" iron rifle.

The piece was purchased in July 14, 1871. Are there any records as to when & where it was taken and when it was released to the city of Naoerville?

Because its concrete base is badly deteiorated, t will have to be relocted. We would like to pay honors to the Confederate unit when the cannon is re-dedicated.
