*MODEL 1906 KRUPP 50 MM MOUNTAIN CANNON.

SN NSN. This Krupp mountain cannon was made under contract with Siamese government proofed 1905-1906. Marked on rear of breech, “FRIED.KRUPP. A.G./ESSEN” (followed by Siamese markings). More Siamese markings to right of and below breech. Three intertwined circles proof marked for Krupp are present on breech. Rare orig front and rear sight are present, rear sight is graduated without any numbers which is correct for this contract. Top of rear sight and bottom have Siamese markings. Trail handle is present on right side of carriage. Traverse and elevation function smoothly and properly. Retaining pin is present in carriage including chain which holds retention pin. All pins and adjustments appear functional. PROVENANCE: Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Overall excellent. Tube retains over 90% of its orig blued finish with some scattered areas of slight pitting, thinning to a brown patina. Metal hardware of carriage covered in a glossy green paint with Siamese markings still in evidence in places. About 90% coverage of this green paint exclusive of metal tires. Metal tires retain 50% of its matte finished green paint which is a perfect match to carriage hardware. Metal tires appear repainted once. Wooden furnishings of wheels are in exceedingly fine condition. Some handling marks and some chips and gouges but absolutely solid and serviceable. It does appear that steel hubs have been removed at one point long ago but there is almost no loss of paint to retention nuts, just threads of screws. Bore is extremely fine with strong clear rifling. Breech block is clean with about 50% of the rear exterior turning brown. Orig leather retention strap at rear of carriage present and serviceable in amazingly good condition. This cannon has seen very little use and has been well cared for, almost certainly kept indoors throughout its existence. 4-54180 JS248 (35,000-45,000) – Lot 1427
