MODEL 1897 FRENCH 75 CANNON
The 1/4 scale French 75 shown below has a functional recoil system

to the original is installed for locking the carriage in position when
firing. The two lower photos show the brake in its extended
position. The barrel slide assembly is simple and easy to maintain to
provide many years of repeated use. Available in flat gray or olive drab
