FINE REPRODUCTION FULL SCALE MODEL 1874 GATLING GUN.

SN 72480. 45-70 cal. This full-sized faithful, fully-functional reproduction has sat in Norm and Ruth Flayderman’s home in Florida overlooking incoming ships into Ft. Lauderdale since they moved there. The model 1874 came in two lengths and this is a copy of the larger of the two with the gun measuring 49″ overall, weighing about 200lbs. without the mounting. With the addition of the yoke and heavy tripod weight no doubt will double. We are not sure of the maker as there are no markings other than a number ‘72480’ which is stamped on the right side of brass frame. The magazine slot is marked ’45 CAL GOV’. Quality and machining of this gun appear quite fine. I’m sure someone reading this catalogue is going to call and tell us they know who made it. We would like to know. This is a stunning decoration for any family room and is in complete and beautiful condition. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Gun overall is in fine condition. Metal surfaces are smooth gray/bright. Gun appears functional and mechanics seem to work well. The handle to the bolt removal plug in the casabel plate is broken off but is easily restored. 4-51212 JS176 (15,000-25,000) – Lot 2143
