ARSENAL MODEL DAHLGREN 15″ NAVY GUN AND CARRIAGE.

SN NSN. This is an extremely well made and detailed model of a Civil War era Dahlgren Naval gun. This gun most likely was built at the Ft. Pitt Foundry. This model is 1/10″ scale and measures 20″ overall with a 1.5″ bore diameter. Carriage is wrought iron or steel measuring 9.62″ in length less wheels and 6.4″ wide. Bbl is cast iron measuring 18.12″ overall with a bore length of 15.5″ (muzzle face to rear of chamber). This model has two vents and two associated sets of percussion “lock ears”, only the right hand vent is drilled through to bore. Within the US Navy’s series of 15″ gun designs, this is unique to the pattern of 1870. This was the last pattern of US Navy muzzle-loading 15″ gun to see production. Since all 20 of this pattern gun were cast by Ft. Pitt Foundry it is quite possible this model was built there as well as there are no markings other than matching assembly punch marks. Similar high quality models were built in this era at the Washington Navy Yard and the New York Navy Yard. Most of the known official US Navy models bear markings similar to the full scale models they represent. However, the workmanship and precision with which this piece was executed is typical of surviving models in the USNA Museum Collection at Annapolis. PROVENANCE: Hampton P. Howell, Jr. Collection. Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection. CONDITION: Fine overall. Smooth iron and steel patinas. This model may have once had a percussion lock hammer which is now missing. Toggle bar at top of elevating screw is also missing. 4-54081 JS124 (7,000-10,000) – Lot 1443
