Step back to the early days of the American Civil War with this detailed Union Heavy Artillery set. This set features a meticulously crafted 24-pounder smoothbore cannon model of 1839, one of the heaviest artillery pieces used during the war. Accompanied by four figures of artillerymen in full dress uniforms, complete with the iconic Hardee hat and brass shoulder scales, each figurine embodies the readiness and discipline of the Union's heavy artillery units. Two of the soldiers are equipped with trail spikes, used to reposition the cannon after each fire, highlighting the strategic importance and operational challenges of artillery in siege warfare. Hand painted in gloss on white metal, this set captures the historical essence and vivid detail of Civil War artillery, making it a striking addition to any military miniature collection.
