Any idea of the value of this signaling device?
It is a 2/3 scale model based on the British 6pd Field Gun c.1800.
Wheel diameter is 38" or 96.5cm, with wooden hub, spokes and iron clad wooden rim.
Gun length muzzle to trail end is 80" or 203.2cm. Barrel length is 45" or 114.3cm with a 2.63" or 6.7mm (tennis ball size) bore.
Width of gun-carriage with wheels attached is 54" or 37.16cm.
The propellant is loaded from the breech.
The wooden trail and carriage have two storage boxes, brass lunet and skid plate.
It has two sizes of threaded breech plugs, breech plug wrench, brass breech cover, tin water bucket, bore mop, ramrod, bore brush, equipment storage box and a gauge for measuring oranges.
The cannon breaks down into four pieces for moving and storage, two wheels - trail/carriage and barrel.
