CONDITION: Good, with untouched age darkened patina overall and areas of surface corrosion, with otherwise defined markings. Carriage is also good, with scattered corrosion and pitting on the cast iron fittings and some cracks in the wood and hubs of the wheels, although it still appears to remain sound. Functions mechanically fine. Surviving examples of Montigny pattern Mitrailleuse multi-barrel volley guns are extremely rare
in any form, with the limited remaining examples residing in overseas museums (this writer does not know of any examples stateside). This is the only example of a Montigny that Rock Island Auction Company has ever had the privilege to offer for public sale! Serving as an impressive piece in the history of development of firearms, this Austro-Hungarian 37-shot Montigny volley gun would make an incredible addition to any advanced military arms collection! Estimate: 90,000 - 140,000
