Description: | Scale: 1:8. Model of an eight-inch gun on its carriage. Both the gun and carriage are largely constructed in a dark stained wood, and include various fittings, such as eye bolts and trunnion clamps for working the gun with its tackles. At the front of the carriage, a pair of circular wheels are fitted inside the body, whilst at the rear is a raised wooden skid with a movable metal fitting for the operation of a lifting bar, which would be used for traversing or moving the gun from side to side.
CA: AAB. Evidence of wordworm.
Even though this model has been labelled as being in class 25 289, there are descriptions of other models in the Rotunda catalogue e.g. No. 300 which description also fits the model
