    1890 Austrian Field Artillery Presentation Model

    Here's a neat 1890 dated presentation Austrian Field Artillery Cannon Model that I recently aquired. It originally was found in the Czech Republic by a friend of mine a number or years ago when he was doing motel room buys. I just purchased it from the estate of a late friend who passed in Sept. The piece disassembles, is heavy and well-made. There's an engraved presentation on the top of the barrel, and there appears to be more engraving on the back of the breech area which is hard to make out. I tried to capture it w/the camera, but will likely have to use a loupe to read the tiny words.

    All the Best,

    Alan Schaefer

            The inscribtion says:

            Made in Innsbruck in the year 1890 by k.u.k. Leutnant Rudolf Nenning

            On the breech I can read: Rud. Nenning 1890

              Thanks for catching that Larry! The wheels are a little over 6" tall, and the entire piece is about 14" long.

                      Hey Jerry, Don't even talk to Alan, we do not like him anymore If he will bring it to SOS, I will bring a roll of raffel tickes and we can raffel it off, I would like him a lot better if I won it
                      Best
