THE PROPERTY OF A EUROPEAN COLLECTOR. A VERY FINE GERMAN MANUFACTURER`S MODEL CANNON BY ALFRED KRUPP PRESENTED TO KING GEORGE I OF GREECE, DATED 1864. with tapering multi-stage steel barrel swelling at the muzzle, cast with raised astragal and reinforcing bands, engraved with the Greek crowned royal cypher between entwined oak and olive branches on the first reinforce, chiselled on top of the base-ring with the abbreviated word for `Arsenal` in Greek cyrillic, the date and with a gold-damascened cartouche between, and with a further cyrillic inscription beneath, globular cascable, and a pair of trunnions inscribed `1/5` on on the left and `C/K.1748` on the right, on its original steel-mounted mahogany carriage, with steel-shod spoked cambered wheels, fitted with an ammunition case on each side, the bed with elevating screw, signed `K.O.` and with the date 1858 on the trail eye bracket (cap-squares expertly replaced) and with its limber en suite with the carriage, carrying a further pair of fitted ammunition boxes, and with accurately detailed steel fittings throughout. 49.5cm; 19 1/2in. barrel The Krupp family arrived in Essen in 1587 and are recorded thirty one years later making over one thousand barrels a year at the start of the thirty years war. The family continued to manufacture gun barrels of a high quality and rose to international fame in the 19th and 20th Centuries. During the 19th Century a very large proportion of `die Firma`s` income was generated from other areas of the steel industry including the manufacture of steel tyres for trains. A considerable number of these were exported to the United States and praised for their superior quality. The income generated from this was able to subsidise the cannon founding business that was an obsessive passion for Alfred Krupp (1812-87).. George I of Greece ascended to the throne on 29th October 1863. The unrest of the years preceding this together with the handing over of the Ionian Islands by the British in June 1864 gave a favourable start to his reign. For an account of the Krupp family see W. Manchester, 1964.
