*COLT MODEL 1900 GATLING GUN.

SN 1113. Cal 30-40 Krag. Late Gatling gun with 32″ rnd to oct 10-bbl cluster mounted in brass support rings. Housing and feed mechanism are all of brass and the entire unit is in a steel frame, all mounted in an orig brass yoke with attached tiller. Crank arm is a repaired, rough cast replacement with brass handle that does not meet the latch. Top of housing is inscribed in an arc “GATLING GUN PATENTED / Manufactured by / Colt’s PT. F. A. MFG., CO. / Hartford, Conn. U.S.A. / Model 1900 / Cal. .30 / No.1113 / O.C.H.”. The last three initials are for the military inspector Lt. Odus C. Horney. The feed housing contains a Bruce feed device that may be a reproduction but adheres to orig dimensions. Rear sight is missing. The yoke sits on a reproduction oak tripod with copper plate on top. Bbls are all inspected and proof marked with inspector initials “RAC” (Rinaldo A. Carr). Carr was a sub inspector at Colt. Bbls also have the “V” & “P” over eagle head proofs and are numbered 1 through 10. Each bbl also has a plugged hole ranging from 4-5″ forward of mounting plate. All visible assembly numbers are matching, #33. All firing pins are also matching assembly numbered except number 8 which has assembly number 11. All firing pins have the “RAC” inspector initials. PROVENANCE: The weapons formerly on loan to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Very good, all matching except one firing pin as noted, and the Bruce feed. Brass retains a dark mustard patina with nicks, dings and scratches and the metal on the iron mostly a dark gray/black patina. Bbls show heavy pitting on the outside with worn dark bores. Bolts are also pitted. Mechanics are fine, appears to be completely functional. A new set of bbls would restore this to a firing Gatling gun that would be fun to shoot. 4-51693 JR277 (50,000-100,000) – Lot 1125
