Blakely Rifle
British Captain Theophilus Alexander Blakely was a prolific designer of rifled cannon, and since his own government did not adopt his designs he sold his weapons overseas. Several of his guns were purchased by the Confederacy and used during the Civil War, and it was in fact a 12-pounder Blakely that had the distinction of being the only rifled cannon used on April 12, 1861, to bombard the Union garrison inside Fort Sumter. Measures 8"x 3 1/4" including solid walnut base.

 

 

12-pounder Napoleon Field Gun
Andrew L. Chernak. The Model 1857 smooth bore field gun was developed in France and named for Emperor Napoleon III. The "work horse" of Civil War artillery, the 12 Pounder had no peer at close range: Robert E. Lee wrote to the Secretary of War, "The best guns for field service, in my opinion, are the 12 Pound Napoleon guns." Limited edition pewter sculpture is signed by the artist and includes an historical background. Measures 8"x 3¼" including solid walnut base.
6-pounder Brierfield Field Gun
The iron made at the Brierfield Ironworks in Alabama, in the words of a contemporary ironmaster, "was the toughest and most suitable iron for making guns and above any other iron in the South." Measures 8"x 3 1/4" high including solid walnut base.

6-Pounder Light Field Gun
Comprising the bulk of the artillery batteries in the North and South at the outbreak of the Civil War, the 6-pounder followed Stonewall Jackson from VMI to immortality at the Battle of Manassas in June 1861 and was used in great numbers in the Western theater even after the introduction of the 12-pounder. Measures 8"x 3¼" tall including solid walnut base.

Civil War Limber
Limbers were used to carry powder and shot for artillery pieces and were always separated from their assigned cannon during action so that they wouldn't be hit by incoming fire and destroyed. They were hitched to a horse team and the cannon was attached to, and pulled behind, the limber. Combine this with the above cannon for a complete set. Measures 15"x 9"x 6½".
1861 Dahlgren Cannon
Often called "a soda water bottle" because of its shape, the Dahlgren was a popular heavy-duty cannon that saw much service during the American Civil War. Measures 12"x 6"x 4½".
Miniature Civil War Limber
Featuring metal construction and 2½" revolving wheels, this limber can be combined with the above cannon to make a complete set. 8" long.
