"Napoleon III, 6 pounder" 1:5 scale model, resembling the cannons used by North and South during The Civil War.
A genuine antique muzzleloader from the JUKAR company in Spain in the rare .70 cal. "king size" 28" long, 12" tall 12" wide in wood, steel, iron and brass with leather accessories.
The original and most antique pieces weren't marked "Spain" in English and didn't have any serial numbers or other information on caliber or black powder stamped on the 15" blue steel barrel. In the bottom of the block trail is written "53" on what might be one of the very first production pieces or even a prototype item as far as the usual serials rises to #00000 digits, so probably done in the end of the '60s. This particular cannon appears never fired as the 'touch hole' or cannon vent is still factory sealed and undrilled. The two metal and wood
ammo
cases are fitted with 6 iron ball rounds each.
Other companies, the Ardesa and the Tradition, followed the Jukar years later and produced this model with small differences, but in the smaller and more common .69 cal.
