This highly detailed and moving model is meticulously crafted and mounted on a single large piece of red marble. The lower edge is polished smooth, transitioning upward into a rough texture that mimics a mountain ridge. The gun and carriage are mounted on top and are made of multiple painted base metal parts, either brass or bronze. The gun cam can be moved up and down by hand, and the gun can rotate 360 ​​degrees. The back of the marble base has a recessed panel for a plaque, but this has been removed. This was clearly a special display piece, likely commissioned by Skoda Works and given only to very important individuals, high-ranking military personnel, and political figures. It is on display at the Technicke Museum (Museum of Science and Technology) in Vienna, Austria.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\"\u003eThe M1911\/16 has a long and storied history.
