UNIQUE BRONZE ENGLISH ARMSTRONG CANNON MODEL WITH GEARED CARRIAGE.

SN NSN. This well made inventor’s model has bbl measuring 9-3/4″ with about a 5″ carriage. Bbl exhibits about a 58 Cal. bore. Consignor describes this model that weighs just over 7 lbs quite accurately, “This finely crafted model is made entirely of bronze with the exception of the axles, which are iron. The barrel is of the “stepped” English Armstrong design which first appeared in the 1860’s, and was characterized by barrel sections of several distinct increasing diameters. The novel carriage appears to be the object of the creation of the model. A horizontal handwheel at the right rear of the carriage actuates a worm and pinion attached to an elbow which elevates the gun as the wheel is turned. This feature is operative.” PROVENANCE: Hampton P. Howell, Jr. Collection. Springfield Arsenal, LLC Artillery Collection CONDITION: Fine overall with mottled mustard colored patina with clear bore. Vent is obstructed. Geared carriage is functional. 4-54155 JS293 (1,000-2,000) – Lot 1466
