This wonderful reproduction with ten barrel cluster with 18 - 1/2" barrels has a brass frame and uses the Accles round donut pattern drum magazine. Marked on the right frame rail "Thunder Valley Machine Co. Clinton, Ohio U.S.A. Serial No. 1001 (1 of 6 built for Reed V Murphy)". This impressive short barrel Gatling gun is mounted using a brass yoke and steel handled screw elevation system that is mounted on a Thunder Valley steel construction three legged camel mount or tripod. A very unique and early reproduction made by Thunder Valley. CONDITION: Very good overall and possibly unfired. Exterior of gun and brass have attained an even mustard color varnish or patina from being used as a display piece in a gun room. The action and mechanics appear to function properly under manual inspection and operation. These early reproduction Gatling guns had great liberties taken as to the engineering and manufacture and are not to be considered an exact copy of the famed Colt Gatling guns. Ideal for cowboy action use and would look fantastic on display in any great gun room.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.Accessories
