Description

7" (18 cm.) A red and blue uniformed soldier is standing alongside a cannon that is facing a stone fort. When coin placed in cannon, cock released, and lever released, the coin fires at the fort, and the soldier moves his arm as though to say "Fire!". Very good condition, original finish albeit paint worn and faded. Late 19th century.
