The base of the carriage is wearing an
oval brass plaque on the front marked “Manufactured By/Colt’s Pat. Fire Arms M’f’g. Co./Hartford, Conn. U.S.A./No. 24. J.A.B./ (naval inspection triangle)”. Also includes
an original caisson, and a modern made wooden transport crate for the gun. CONDITION: Very good, with the brass exhibiting a lightly aged patina, some scattered pin-prick holes, scratches,
wear and otherwise defined markings.
95% refinished blue finish visible on the iron feeding section of the magazine. Professionally made modern reproduction magazine housing cover assembly, barrels, bolt assemblies, rear sight, ejector and crank handle assembly. Safety mechanism does not properly engage, otherwise mechanically fine. Carriage is very fine as
boxes (absent small retaining pins), retains 95% applied green painted finish with some corrosion visible on the outer wheel bands. Caisson is also very fine as professionally restored, retains 95% applied green painted finish with some corrosion visible on the outer wheel bands. This rare example of a Colt U.S. Navy Mark I Model 1900 Gatling gun, one of the rarest variations of Gatling guns, would display very well in any U.S. military collection!
