This is great!
Although without the wheels, it's more of a dragged gun than a towed gun?

It will have just the one front wheel fitted. The other having been wisked away by locals 🙂

@Martin, Definitio of "on tow":
*adjective: Pulled by means of an attached line, such as a cable, chain, or rope.Following or accompanying under the direction of another, as if attached by a line and being pulled.
*Adverb: In a manner involving being pulled by means of an attached line.
So it could be wheels, chains, or even a donkey 😄
