Just added this circa 1905 4.7 inch Naval gun by William Britains to the collection. Comes with its original box.  It joins a 1915 dated gun and a version with gun shield from the 30’s all by the same company. 

What a minty gun and complete with the box as well.  The box probably saved the condition of the gun.

 

 

Agree Sarge!….although the box is rather grimy….and am lightly cleaning it and finding the label is yellow

Awesome, a real museum piece, thanks for sharing it here!

Dirk, if you don´t mind I´m adding a similar gun I found recently. Looks like it is a 4.7 inch gun made by Britains as well. Some parts are missing but at least it seems to be operational to "fire" caps.

 

 

Lars perfect! That one is of later production…post war I think

Awesome!
