Hi guys, can anybody assist with plans for a British Napoleonic 9lb cannon or 12lb please
 
Any specific models/dates?

This book by Franklin is comprehensive and clearly well researched.

See his index (I could perhaps post scans of specific models) and also some examples of his illustrations (also has lots of other details ref construction, fittings, harness, limbers etc).

Thanks Neil. I'm looking for the plans for the 9lb used by RHA at Waterloo .
 
Hi John

Can't help with plans but totally recommend the book Neil shows

Have you tried contacting the Artillery museum as well

This sounds like a interesting project

You might want to post in General Figure talk

First is from an Osprey book (drawing is 1864 but believed to be same as earlier models); others from Franklin.
