A Proper Home Made 6pr 7CWT gun ;

[Gspragge]

I have no idea who made this or when. Bare steel finish, I'm thinking of painting it as it is
having slight rust issues. Overall 39 1/2" long, barrel including breech 19". Verticle sliding breech, recoil length just
over 2", firing lock withdraws as breech opens. Smooth bore, no extracter or sighting elements. I will put it
on blocks as tires are a bit soft and may flatten over time (more than they may have already.)
Images taken outside which caused some green reflection so I've tried to remove that if the colouration looks a bit odd.
Calibre just under .5 " =12mm.

That took skill and love to produce. It is magnificent. Do the hand wheels elevate and traverse the gun? May I ask what you had to pay to obtain it?

There is no travere wheel as it's free traverse movement as per the real gun. But there is an elevation wheel
that works. There is no travel lock to hold things in place so it's a bit awkward to move it about.
It was in a fairly local auction and my winning bid was $130 = $173.34 total with fees & Taxes Cdn, =$91.93 U.S. or
67.41 Pounds Sterling. That I was rather stunned to win it thusly would be to say the least as I was quite amazed
and still am at the lack of any meaningful competition.
