Title: Painting Artilleery pieces 1869-1885..?
Post by: Shipka on 17 June 2011, 05:08:26 PM

Can anyone tell me would the gun barrels be painted the same as the carriages, I am interested in Turkish, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian and Serbian field pieces of the above period.

Thanks,

Geoff

As Russian artillery gun carriages and other artillery carts were painted in green. Artillery barrels (bronze and steel) are not stained and had a natural metal color.
