CVA cannons

[wolfers]

Anyone own a CVA cannon? I am looking at the Mountain Howitzer and the Nepolean III. What is a good price for one assembled?

Thanks

My friend has one. They sell new for around 200.

Where do they still sell those??

These are working models. They are sitting in an antique shop hear in PA.There is also a winchester signal cannon in the same shop.

I got a Winchester, what does theirs go for? We can compare the price of theirs used with mine new and get a rough idea wether or not this place has an over inflated profit margin

I've got one of the old CVA mountain howitzers that you're talking about and they have not been made for years. I bought mine about 20 years ago ago at a gun show and they had been out of production for some time then. Mine is a .58 caliber and it sits on top of our entertainment center in the living room to keep visiting kids from messing with it. The barrel walls must me around a caliber and a half thick. Has 12 spoke wheels just like the Traditions, but without the small hardware that that one has. Pretty nicely made replica that I paid $75 for at the time, but then again that was at least 20 years ago. What do they want for them now?

The winchester goes for about 6oo. The other are about the same price.

My wife gave me a CVA 1/4 scale 70 cal Napoleon kit, 12" diameter spoked wheels about 30 years ago, and I think she payed about $300. for it. And I think they may still sell them, but there smaller.
I originally stained the wood, but several years ago, I painted it the green/gray it was in real life, she didn't like the color, but its in my gun room now, so who cares what she likes.
I haven't shot it in years, there's no good place to shoot it around hear, our club range wont allow any cannons.
I would post a picture, but I dont know how, Im a CIOF (Computer Illiterate Old Fart) But I can e-mail it, if someone cares, and want to post it for me.
