Is this a pop quiz or a real question?  A cursory google search didn't find anything.

Here is a reference--http://www.paul-mauser-archive.com/biography%202.htm

I sent an inquiry to the Landesmuseum Württemberg asking about the model.

Serious question, When he left the military after being trained as a gunsmith he started working a breech loading field gun.  I don't know wha titi was or if it was ever completed.

The above reference said he and brother Wilhelm built a model that was acquired by the King of Württemberg about 1860.  That is why I picked the Landesmuseum Württemberg to inquire about it.

I have not received a reply from the Museum yet.  Maybe you should try.

George,

It was just a question in passing as I saw the reference to Mauser and an artillery piece when I was researching Boer War  Mausers.

OK, I thought you wanted to build one and was trying to get some info from that museum.  Not a problem.
