!!!!!SOLD!!!!! Miniart 1/4 Scale Russian Model 1910 Maxim Belt Fed Machine Gun On Sokolov Wheeled Mount !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/4 scale miniature Model 1910 Russian Maxim medium machine gun on a Sokolov wheeled mount made by Miniart in Russia in 1994. This thing is just unbelievable and just gets better the more you look at it!!! Measures 15 1/4″ long overall with a 7 3/8″ barrel and 2 15/16″ diameter wood spoke wheels. The finish is olive drab green paint, blue steel, and bright in the white steel. 100% fully functional, & I mean everything works, elevation, traverse, the firing mechanisms, everything!  The fit, finish, & detail of this miniature will blow you away.  The top of each grip handle unscrews to reveal a cleaning brush.  There were a total of 15 of these Maxims made of which 7 were the white snow Maxims with the snow cap & fluted water jackets, 1 green Maxim with the snow cap & fluted water jacket, 5 olive drab Maxims with no snow cap & the fluted water jacket like the one shown here, and 2 olive drab Maxims with no snow cap & smooth water jackets.  The snow Maxims have a large lid on top of the water jacket secured with a bail type latch.  This was so that snow or ice could be put into the cooling jacket when temperatures were below freezing.  So, this is only one of five of this model ever made by Miniart, about 28 years ago.  This example has been off the market for the whole 28 years.  It is in almost mint perfect condition with just a few handling mark chips in the olive drab green  paint. The blue steel parts are near mint.  Absolutely one of the finest miniature firearms to ever come out of Russia with over 170 parts!  I have one of the Miniart snow Maxims in my small personal collection because I think it is one of the best miniatures every made, by anyone, anywhere, in any time period!  Stock # RC-27.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
