KAR 2.5" screw gun colour?

[slugbalancer]

I've just finished my first KAR infantry and want to move on to do their 2.5" screw guns but what colour would they be painted.

Apart from mud of course.

Hello SB

Wiki shows grey carriage and weathered brass barrel:-




Or if you have a spare $33,000 you can buy one and check the colours immediately  :-

Olive green carriage, natural wood (replacement?) wheels.

Thanks GOM.  The grey ones look to be the colour used during the Victorian era but I the one on sale may be what I'm looking for.  So some sort of olive green or olive drab will do the job.

How will you get it on the table, and won't it be out of scale?

Grey is the official colour until the early 1900's.
