Title: Krupp C64
Post by: S J Donovan on 23 December 2012, 04:26:08 AM

I need a source of Krupp C64s and limbers for a German force ca 1874. Can anyone help?
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all!

Perry Miniatures' Sudan range has one or something very similar.

Nope, 7 pounder screw gun, not close.
Foundry has something close (FPPG2) but can't tell from the photo anyone have ?
 I have some other Krupps but they all come with shields and as far I know C64s did not.

Carlos was referring to Perry pack SB 52, not SB 45, and the gun is indeed a Krupp model (dunno if this is a C64 though) :

Indeed. I have no idea whether that's a C64 or not  but it looks like a pretty reasonable facsimile to me.

Have you tried Spencer Smith miniatures? - they have at least one Krupp in their traditional FPW range and may well have other stuff secreted about their website.

Arthur and Carlos that is indeed close, a 6 pounder rather than a 4, but close enough that I might order two as I also wanted heavier artillery than just 4 pounders. 
Hobbit I had not thought about Spencer Smith and that looks like a 4 pounder and I will probably order that also.
Thank you all for your replies and Happy Holidays!
