Title: Best Source for Krupp Artillery
Post by: Belgian on April 05, 2014, 12:46:02 PM

Hi, I'm currently looking at the best source for acquiring some cheap but nice krupp guns as used by the egyptians and madhists in the Sudan. I would only need the guns without the crew. So far I have found

- Old glory £5.00 a piece
- Redoubt £5.00 a piece
- Perry £9.00 for the gun and 4 crew (but don't need the crew)

Do have other ideas and can somebody say if the old glory and redoubt pieces are of good casting quality, ...

Thanks in advance

Askari makes one $9.00 per gun great casting and service.

I have a couple of the Redoubt ones and they're fine.

Kind regards
