The M1885 & M1897 3.2 Inch Field Guns were very similar early model breech-loader rifles; with the differences being minor details of design and construction. One hundred of the M1885 were build, and 262 of the M1897. These guns had a black powder bag charge separate from the projectile, and had no recoil system. They were used in the Spanish-American War in Cuba and the Phillipines.
