One of my most recent purchases is a bit of an odd ball in my mostly medieval collection. But it is just such a pretty "little" cannon, i could not resist.
Problem is though i have no clue what model/type of cannon this is.
It is most likely Swiss and might be a type of mountain cannon (Gebirgskanone).
The brass barrel is 75cm long and has a 50mm caliber.
The original Limber is also included with a munitions box which doubles as a seat (3 arms/back supports still included). Everything is painted white with alternating blue stripes.
No markings are present.
Does anyone know more about this type of cannon?
If it is indeed a mountain cannon it could have been pulled by donkeys . Let's hope i did not make an ass out of myself by buying this in fear of having to pull it myself.
