Well, here it is:
These will go on sale sometime in November as a 3-piece set for $8.00 USD. Code number is "AE-5". It is a 1-pound wall gun manned by two Royal Artillery crewmen for the AWI. The set includes the two crew and the wheeled mantle. Every artillery battery needs a couple of these "funnies" for protection. |

Nice! Do you do a "Grasshopper"? |

I am not familiar with these. How often were they used? Still, a great piece. |

Amusettes were used to shoot holes in the homes of recalcitrant rednecks. In one wall, out the other. If Verne was impressed, he did what the jaegers asked. Jaegers really liked them. Grasshoppers were popular in the Southern campaigns,being extremely portable. |

That looks great. I will definitely have to pick a few of them up when they go on sale. |
