Medieval trebuchet-type cannons were cannons that mounted a barrel on the wooden frame of a trebuchet. They share common tactical features, and it's interesting to see their evolution and improvement as siege weapons. The British Royal Navy cannons of the age of sail were mounted on the HMS Victory, the flagship of Admiral Nelson. It's quite evocative to display a Napoleon cannon alongside one from the opposing side. The Armstrong gun is the same type used in the Ueno War. Despite its miniature size, it has a loading lever. The Saga Domain, joining the new government forces, used their Armstrong guns to attack the Shogitai, who were positioned in front of Kanei-ji Temple, and also attacked from the Hongo plateau on the side. It can be appreciated with a sense of history as a weapon that determined the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the establishment of the Meiji Restoration. ● It was displayed in a glass case, but due to its age, there may be some scratches, marks, rust, and discoloration typical of metal die-cast products. ● Depending on your perspective, the other conditions have aged well, and it should be fine to display. ● Please purchase only if you understand that this is a long-term home-stored item. ● Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item or are overly sensitive. ● Please only proceed with the transaction if you agree to no claims, no returns, and no cancellations.
