The French Revolutionary war's heavy artillery relied heavily on the French 12 Pounder field gun, a formidable piece of firepower used extensively during Napoleon's conquests in Europe from 1805 to 1815. The French army's standard color scheme for guns in 1808 called for wood to be painted olive green and metal to be blackened, strictly adhering to regulations. The Gribeauval system had a profound impact on the French field artillery in the 1760s, laying the groundwork for their impressive military achievements under Napoleon's command. This 12-pounder cannon is an authentic historical recreation built using original documents, blueprints, and actual surviving examples.
