Model of an 8-Pounder Gun and Two Carriages, Model of an 8-pound gun on a horse, incomplete. The 35 cm long barrel has a caliber of 17 mm, a refraction ring, the grape is flat from behind. The inscriptions are engraved on the barrel, along with two crossed anchors and palm branches. The cheek horse's cheeks, with four steps and an elliptical cut-out at the bottom, are further apart than at the front and are connected by the calf, the ashes and a crossbar in between, and moreover by two bolts that go through the cheeks. The chest piece, the adjusting wedge and the elevation platform, which must be supported at the front on one of the bolts and at the rear on the soleplate, are missing. The rear ash body is wide and immediately serves as a soleplate. The front wheels are slightly larger than the rear wheels. The second role horse consists of two parts. The upper part consists of the cheeks and the calf, identical to the first rolling horse, but placed on a wide base plate. The bottom part consists of the axle struts connected by a wide base plate. The upper part is connected to the lower part with a spindle bolt at the front and can therefore be baked on the lower part, for which both parts are provided with a brass circle segment with holes at the rear, so that it can be baked with a pin in predetermined positions. A small roller in the middle of the base plate of the part facilitates the rotation of the upper part. The small wooden wheels are all of the same diameter.
