Continental, circa 1850
Height: 37 cms (14.6 ins)
Width: 74 cms (29 ins)
The four-stage barrel is a particularly impressive feature of this model. It is constructed of bronze and is tapered, with a turned muzzle at the end. This feature is designed to provide greater accuracy and range when firing the gun. The arched lifting-handles are also made of bronze and are designed to make it easier to move the gun around the battlefield.
