Model of a 24-Pounder Gun on a Carriage

Model of a 24-pound cannon on a coastal carriage, incomplete. The 57.5 cm long barrel has a caliber of 33 mm. Inscriptions are engraved on the barrel, along with crossed anchors and palm branches. The truck consists of two parallel cheeks with four steps and an elliptical cutout at the bottom, connected by the neck and sole plate. The front axle box is attached to the cheeks with removable brackets. At the rear, the model lacks an axle box or wheels: the cheeks have a recess for an axle with levers and a notch under the sole plate to lift the truck at the rear. This axle is missing. The front wooden wheels consist of two round discs. The barrel is part of a series with the same type of inscription.
