Thinking of using a Napoleonic 12pdr for the above. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Chad

Franco Prussian French 12 pounder?

What does the Italian 16pdr actually  look like?

No idea!

Freikorps list both an Italian 10 and 6 pounder, on Napoleonic type carriages.
Will keep looking.

Had a look at the Baccus 6mm Piedmont reserve artillery model. It looks very similar to a French 12pdr of the period so I would go with that in 10mm

Have a look at this, about four pictures down; 12 Pounder looks good as a match!

I agree. Googled some images of 1859 and found one of Italians removing a gun from the line. It was big with a brass tube and light blue-grey paintwork. Very similar looking to the French 12 pdr. I reckon we have found the proxy.

Thanks gents. Much appreciated. 👍
