About the Item

A finely cast model of an early 19th century British 24-pounder smoothbore muzzle-loading artillery cannon, together with its garrison style carriage. Both cast in heavy gauge 'bell metal', the gun is accurately represented with the Royal Cypher of King George III, together with the broad arrow mark used by the Board of Ordnance, the underside bearing impressed makers marks MH. Fitted atop a garrison style carriage bearing impressed marks 24 PR (for 24 pounder) and fitted with a sliding quoin for adjusting elevation. These guns were intended for both naval & land use, and when used for shore-based fortifications & ramparts they were then fitted on a mobile garrison type carriage such as this. With it's long, slender silhouette & simplicity of decoration, the British 24 Pounder guns of the early 19th century were undoubtedly the most impressive of the smooth bore era. Exhibiting an exceptionally warm pinkish hue as a result of the higher ratio of copper used in their composition, making this fine model much more closely associated with a form of bronze versus that of brass. And as the name suggests, because of it's high quality, bell metal was used in the casting of bells as well as in casting items such as candlesticks and in some instances cannons. Combined overall weight, 9 pounds. In extremely good overall condition, and priced competitively in comparison to similar examples in the marketplace. Note: Comes together with an original mimeographed 1/10th scale set of plans for a British 24 Pounder cannon by noted British draughtsman & author, Harold A. Underhill (1897-1965). Very little is known of Mr. Underhill's early life, other than he was raised in the English Midlands where despite his topographical location he became completely enamoured by the sea & sailing vessels. He later moved to Birmingham where he articled in a Birmingham architects office, then at the outbreak of the 1st World War he enlisted in the Royal Engineers Service Corp, during which time he was awarded the British Military Cross for Gallantry.
