Limber with Ammunition Chest
Order Code : 9025
Each Civil War cannon was attached to a limber with its ammunition chest when the field or horse artillery took the field, and was drawn by a six-horse team. When the cannon was removed (unlimbered) from the limber and went into firing position, the horse teams were removed to the rear and the limber was brought close to the rear of the cannon's trail for a rapid supply of ammunition. This kit comes with ammunition for all our cannon kits (9020, 9021, 9022 and 9023) to insert into the open limber chest. A step-by-step assembly guide is included.
Price: $40.00

Civil War Caisson, Union or Confederate
Order Code : 9026
Our series of artillery pieces from the Civil War is rounded out with the addition of a caisson, complete with two ammunition boxes, spare limber pole, extra wheel, and cannon trail stock, as well as a pickax, felling axe, shovel, and handspike. It was always attached to the limber (separate piece, see kit 9025) and pulled by four to six horses when it was taken into batttle. Union caissons were usually painted olive drab; Confederate colors were gray.
Price: $50.00
