This handmade brass construction precision scale model is made in a limited edition of only 300 pieces in 1997 by CCM in scale 1:48. The model is packaged in a deluxe gift box and comes with a signed certificate. I am in possession of #178.
CCM has in 2023 posted the complete story about the creation of the Caterpillar 914G Wheel Loader scale model on its BLOG in the "Iron Profile" section and subsequently again in 2017 as "Memorable Model – Caterpillar 914G Wheel Loader"
