LOT 3179
Desirable Karl Furr/Paul Kuhni 1/3 Scale Copy of a
Model 1883 Gatling Gun with Carriage and Accles
Pattern Magazine - Serial no. 68, 22 LR cal., 12 inch
round bbl., brass finish. Manufactured in 1979, this is a
1/3 scale functional copy of the Colt/Gatling Model 1883.
An evolution of Richard Gatling’s original 1862 design,
the 1883 Gatling integrates a full brass housing from
the barrel group, which protects the mechanism from
debris, sea spray, and other hazards, as well as the Accles
pattern magazine, a donut-shaped drum with on-board
drive rotor, which allows for higher and more consistent
rates of fire than the gravity-fed magazines of earlier
models. Overall measurements are 21 inches tall, 32 inches
long and 23 inches across. The top of the body bears a
reproduction of the original Colt/Gatling markings, with a
set of elevation adjustable sights on either side, and Karl
Furr and Paul Kuhni’s markings are on the underside of
the gear box including the 1979 production date. The
gun is installed on a brass carriage with traverse and elevation adjustment equipment, a pair
of on-board magazine storage boxes, and brass banded wooden wheels. Matching exterior
numbers are present on multiple parts, including the magazine.
CONDITION: Very good as incomplete, with minor spotting and wear. All ten bolt assemblies
are absent, although the barrel cluster and Accles drum rotate freely.
Estimate: 5,000 - 7,500
