Tony; Fantastic, you've done it again, this time in solid brass!!!

As an Artillery man I have to love these pics.
In the last pic the gunner still holds the firing cord.
Thx,
Francis

I can see two things that you need to add to the collection, a projectile, and a connon. I can see why brass prices are going up, Tony is buying a lot of brass.

This and your article at Kaiser's Bunker are simply brilliant. In particular the last photo on KB already mentioned by Francis is a show-stopper.

Cheers!

Nice find Tony!!

And, hey Francis, I'm also former Artillery (section chief on a Paladin). What is the Belgian word for the 'firing cord'? We call it the 'lanyard'.
Nice to meet a fellow 'gun bunny', 'cannon cocker', 'red leg'!
