Does anybody make it in 28mm? I've looked in vain. |

TA Miniatures has them. I bought some a few years ago. link |

Thanks Wolverine. Unfortunately their website does not seem to work properly. Tried a couple of times. |

TA Miniatures are now sold under North Star Miniatures. However, I did not see a Mountain Howitzer, just big siege guns. |

Have you checked ACW lines? |

Strange that a weapon with Hollywood megastar status (for a weapon that is) – MAJOR DUNDEE – should be so difficult to find.
I can't find any substitutes either. The barrel was long for a howitzer and had a distinctive shape. Have looked in all the ACW providers and in Mexican American War lines. It was used on the plains too. |

The barrel was long for a howitzer I think you have that backwards. Per the 1860 Ordnance Manual, the 12-pdr Field Howitzer had a 46.25" (10 caliber) bore, while the Mountain Howitzer had only a 28.16" (6.1 caliber) bore. Overall tube lengths were 58.6" v. 37.21" respectively. |

The second one is the very gun. Unfortunately the price is too high. Especially when you count the mules etc.
No, I am going to field a Wiard rifle which is oddball enough to be unknown to my mates, and which I'll argue is light enough to support cavalry.
But thanks for your efforts. Andrew |
