*1906 KRUPP MOUNTAIN HOWITZER.

50mm as made for Siam and so marked on the breech with Siamese Government proofs and “FRIED. KRUPP. A.G./ESSEN”, then more Siamese markings and Krupp symbols. Elevation gear also marked in Siamese. Included in this lot is orig, functional rear sight with balance bubble intact, prolong handle, kit with brass cases and molds, and some lead projectiles needed to shoot this cannon. Although manufactured in 1906, this weapon has been excluded from provisions of the National Firearms Act and will transfer like a Curio & Relic rifle. Breech block opens and shuts freely, firing lanyard is a faithful reproduction of the orig which actuates the firing mechanism. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The weapons formerly on loan to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is excellent. Over 90% deep lustrous blue, thinning in places with some scattered corrosion. Wheels, axle and carriage have over 90% olive drab finish with some scuffs and chips. Leather covering on elevation wheel and carriage handles are either orig or faithful reproduction in fine, serviceable condition. Telescoping tongue of carriage also serviceable. Steel tires retain about 50% of black enamel finish with the loss occurring from the cannon being wheeled about. Bore is extremely fine and clean. Would be hard to imagine a more attractive little cannon to put into one’s collection. The reloadable brass cases and shooting accessories only enhance the desireability of this cannon. 4-51722 (30,000-60,000) – Lot 2137
