A striking and impeccably engineered model cannon, echoing the might of coastal artillery and the precision of historic craftsmanship. This substantial piece bears a brass plate proudly inscribed “Coastal Defence Singapore”, evoking echoes of empire and the fortified harbours of the East. Crafted with meticulous detail, the cannon features working brass wheels that allow for smooth elevation and rotation, while the screw-thread breech opens and closes with the satisfying precision one expects from fine engineering. It rests securely on a robust metal base plate, complete with wheels beneath for ease of positioning.

To the left side, a gleaming brass plaque reads “R. Cakebread Engineers, Wimbledon”, offering a nod to a distinguished maker and grounding the piece in the rich industrial heritage of British engineering.

Condition : Presented in excellent condition, with only minor and entirely sympathetic signs of wear. A truly handsome display piece—ideal for collectors of naval antiquities, military models, or those with a penchant for maritime defence history.
