Reduction of a Gribeauval system cannon;... - Lot 78 - Vasari Auction
Reduction of a Gribeauval system cannon; exact replica of a twelve-pounder cannon, model 1853 known as Napoleon III, on a field mount with mobile caisson, old-fashioned cartwheels with metal strapping, this artillery piece was copied by the American armies as the Model of 1857, and was found on both sides. Superb condition. This gun is a unique, exceptional piece of mastery made by a professional for the purpose of firing black powder in competitions and demonstrations. The plans were obtained from the Musée de l'Armée in Paris, and the realization scrupulously respects the original dimensions.
