A couple of years ago Alexey Lobin & me
published a material about Russian artillery at Narva: Великанов В.С. Лобин А.Н. Русская артиллерия в Нарвском походе 1700
г. // Военно-исторический журнал "Старый Цейхгауз", № 48 (4/2012). М.
2012. СС. 3-10 (see the full Russia text here, link). There were 195 Russian cannons in that campaign: 64 siege
cannons, 79 regimental cannons, 4 howitzers & 48 mortars (incl. 22 captured
in a train at Yam soon after the battle). 16 of the siege cannons were casted
in Holland in 1634-36 for Russian government (see details here, link). Their calibers were 45-58 pounds.
9 siege cannons were casted in Russia in 1590-1634. They had individual names
& were rich-decorated, their calibers were 15-40 pounds. Other siege
cannons didn’t have individual decorations to attribute them. Out of 79 regimental
cannons 64 were 3-pdr cannons of 1699 pattern (see details here, link). Below is a table with details of 173 Russian
cannons participated in the siege of Narva in 1700 (22 mortars didn’t have time
to arrive):
Interesting info! Though I would like to know if there will be a post about the Battle of Jungfernhof?
