ARSENAL MODEL OF FRENCH CIRCA 1830 LIMBER.

SN NSN. This early exacting model was probably here in the United States in the 1830’s as American field artillery was emulating French design of this period. This limber which is 1/4 or 1/5 scale would closely approximate limbers used with US model field guns. Model is about 31″ overall with 12″ wheels, made of wood and steel. Even the bolts and studs on steel-tired wheels are to scale. Model is about 15″ wide. 19th century arsenal models of cannon accessories are much scarcer than are the cannon. This is a beautiful example that survived in exemplary condition. PROVENANCE: Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Right wheel missing forged locking pin, replaced by a nail. 4-54173 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 2134
