This canon in working order with some signs of age and use. It comes complete with the twist in back which is often missing and a small fire cracker for show (not included, also no grenades), toy soldier is included in this sale. The wheels have a 5,5cm or 2 1/4 inch diameter with a total length of 14cm or 5 1/2 inch.
