A wonderful roughly half scale reproduction based the iconic Colt Model 1874 "Camel" Gatling Gun built by the Thunder Valley Machine Company of Clinton, Ohio. It features an exposed 10 barrel cluster with each of the blued 12" round-to-octagonal barrels chambered in the readily available 9mm Parabellum cartridge and numbered at the breech. Ammunition is fed via strips, 3 of which are included, along with spare ammunitions clips. The body of the gun is cast brass, mounted with a painted brass recreation of an original Colt name plate. Frame is matte black finished steel bearing maker information on the right side. Gun is complete with a well made steel tripod with elevation adjustment, in addition to a wooden shipping crate. Overall on its mount it stands approximately 32" tall, presenting well in any office or collection room. CONDITION: Very good. Brass remains in attractive bright polish, showing some scratches. The vast majority of the original blued finish is retained on the barrels barring a few minor spots of loss. Other components likewise retain the vast majority of their factory finish with some light wear. Bores are bright displaying sharp rifling. Mechanically fine. A great scale Gatling gun scarcely seen on the market. BAS
