It is based on historical field cannons with their characteristic long barrels, large spoked wheels, and a simple carriage. Such models were particularly popular as desk accessories, paperweights, and collectibles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe carefully turned cannon barrel features several circumferential decorative rings and a slightly flared muzzle. It rests on a two-wheeled carriage with narrow metal arms extending backwards. The two large spoked wheels are rotatable, while the cannon barrel can be adjusted in its tilt. The combination of aged golden-brown brass and reddish metal tones gives the model a beautiful historical character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a weight of around 675 grams, the cannon is remarkably solid for its compact size. The barrel has a bore, but it ends before the rear touchhole. It is therefore a decorative model and not a functional cannon. The aging of the metal surface that occurred over decades underlines the character of this unusual desk object.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeriod: Mid to second half of the 20th century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: Brass and copper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: approx. 20 × 7 × 7 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: approx. 675 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuantity: 1 piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautiful little collectible that reproduces historical military technology in a decorative miniature form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is an older item of use with corresponding traces of age and use.
