Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/6 scale six barrel Gatling gun by an unknown maker.  15 5/8″ long overall, 9 3/4″ wide, & 6″ tall.  The gun itself is 9 7/8″ long with 5 1/8″ steel barrels of .125 caliber.  Steel barrels, bolts, & some hardware.  The wheels are 5 13/16″ in diameter with brass tyres.  Walnut & brass carriage with very well made fittings & nice detail.  I have now had three of these in the past 5 – 6 years.  They are usually semi-functional in that when you turn the crank the barrels turn, the bolts reciprocate, & you can hear what sounds like firing pin clicks.  I think these may have been made commercially, either as completed miniatures, maybe as kits.  This one has a couple very minor problems.  There are two hooks on the trail for winding the chain around for transport, the front one is broken, & one of the chained pins that holds the right trunion bracket is missing.   No magazine, the first one I had had a wood stick magazine painted gold.  Other than that this is probably the nicest of the three I have seen, the other two having had minor or major mechanical problems.  Most of the brass is still bright & highly polished, with just some minor freckling, & the wood is near mint.  Sold “AS-IS” no returns.  Priced accordingly.  Stock # RC-44.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
