Manufactured in 1976, this is a 1/3 scale functional copy of the Colt/Gatling Police Model 1893. An evolution of Richard Gatling's original 1862 design, the 1893 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. The top of the body bears a reproduction of the original Colt/Gatling markings and Karl Furr and Paul Kuhni's markings are on the underside of the gear box along with the 1976 production date. The gun is installed on a folding brass tripod. Matching exterior numbers are present throughout.

Fine overall with the brass generally showing an attractive, lightly aged patina and a few scattered patches of verdigris/oxidation. The action does not currently cycle, needs work.
