The 18th Century Spanish El Tigre Cannon was mainly used as a fortress gun. Since these cannons were not used as field artillery they were often heavier and shorter. The steps in the carriage were used to adjust the angle of fire. At less than 7" long, this piece is part of a series of famous cannon miniatures from Denix made in Spain. The mini 18th Century Spanish El Tigre Cannon is ideal for wargamers or collectors.
