Peter Cowan produced many sets representing the British Army at home and in campaign, the Boxer Rebellion, World Conflicts, and Indian Army. It is sometimes difficult to catalog his production because he would give two different numbers to the same set. For example, his set A2 is also WC1, A8 is also BX3, K20 is also BI18, P14 is also WC5, etc.
In any case, I thought you might like to see three of his artillery sets in my collection (two more to follow) no matter how confusing it is:
WC1 - Royal Canadian Artillery in Winter Dress with 9PDR Sleigh Gun, 1890
BX3 - Russian Artillery, China, 1900, with Putilow 7.62CM Field Gun
Bx4 - Japanese Field Artillery, China, 1900, with Osaka 77MM Field Gun
The Royal Canadian Artillery was also made as set P10 (WC4) with a six horse galloping gun team with sleigh mounted limber and 9PDR including a mounted officer. Set P14 (WC5) had the gun team at the halt with the crew putting the gun into action.
