Description
Original Item: Very Few Available. Antique mountain cannon, fully functional, not de-activated. Finally approved by the U.S. BATF as an unrestricted Antique; this is an exceptional, rare and very desirable British Empire “Screw Gun” dated 1902. The Screw Gun was a British development from the 1870’s. An artillery piece was fitted with a two-part barrel that “screwed” together for use. The idea was to make such a substantial weapon transportable by mule train in mountainous regions.
