A FRENCH CAST-BRONZE MODEL GRIBEAUVAL SYSTEM MINIATURE CANNON, 19 C. The Gribeauval system (French: système Gribeauval) was an artillery system introduced by Lieutenant General Jean Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval during the 18th century. This system revolutionized French cannons, with a new production system that allowed lighter, more uniform guns without sacrificing range. The Gribeauval system superseded the Vallière system beginning in 1765. The new guns contributed to French military victories during the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. The system included improvements to cannons, howitzers, and mortars. The Year XI system partly replaced the field guns in 1803 and the Valée system completely superseded the Gribeauval system in 1829. Dimensions: L: 24 in., (61 cm.) Condition: Perfect for the age, fully functional. The bronze has a very nice patina. Perfect condition overall. Please make all inquiries before bidding.
