Our Assessment: This example is a scaled-down replica of a gun manufactured by Furr Arms. The bright and shiny yellow brass is stunning and the attention to detail is incredible, from the cannon to its mount and carriage. Karl Furr, later joined by his son Keith Furr, is renowned for his craftsmanship and the detail of scaled-down versions such as this one. Even the most dedicated collector may not have room for a full-size twelve-pounder, but this scale replica is perfectly sized to display. Should you so choose, it should also be a little more economical to shoot than a full-size cannon, as well as being easier to find a proper venue for that sort of shooting. This beautiful brass Gun is in Great shape only showing light wear, it has been well maintained. Includes 10 brass cannon balls, and a ramrod. A truly unique piece that is a must have for any Military or Historical collection. We do not see Cannons come up for auction very often, and less so of this quality.
