A range of artillery pieces for the wargamer  and collector. With a range of interest from the norm to the unusual.  The time period covered is from 1880 to post WW2.

We do not claim that these are the most detailed gun models in the world, in that they don't have all the cogs and handles, etc, of the actual pieces. We feel however that they fill many useful gaps for the wargamer or collector.

For other guns see our WW2 and colonials ranges.


Gun Type One A

British 15pdr Krupp m.00 as used in the Boer war. It was used with and without shield.  See later for another version of this under 3b.

(used against the British) Japanese Krupp 00 (used against the Russians 1904-1905) also used by various small Balkan countries in the first and second Balkan wars prior to WW1. It also becomes the Turkish m03/10 fieldgun, the most common gun used against the allies in the middle east in WW1. The same gun was sold to the Spanish army and was used by both sides in the Spanish Civil War. In most cases these guns soldiered on from the turn of the century up until WWII.
