This Denix replica 1861 Dahlgren Civil War Cannon is new with the original box. The gun carriage is made of wood while the rotating metal wheels are made of plastic. The cannon is made of the same metal as the wheels and sorry it doesn't fire. Dahlgren guns were muzzle loading Naval Artillery designed by and named after Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren,USN. A must have for the right collector, this is a beautiful piece of history. Thanks for viewing and contact me with any questions.
