CORRECTION: WELL-MADE FULL SCALE 3 POUNDER REVOLUTIONARY WAR STYLE CANNON WITH ACCESSORIES. Built by renowned master cannon maker Steven Gottshall, as a replica of a Carlisle-made 1779 Revolutionary War field cannon.

Built using the same techniques as used during the period and constructed with the best materials. Mounted on a sturdy and well-made split-trail carriage with steel fittings on heavy handmade hickory (not oak) wheels. These were painstakingly crafted by the Witmer Coach Shop in New Holland, Pennsylvania, and are actual purpose-built cannon wheels.
