This is a superbly manufactured, fully functional, full scale reproduction of a Colt Model 1878 Gatling Battery Gun chambered in .45-70 and manufactured by Valley Engraving LLC of Woodsfield, Ohio.

The Valley Engraving LLC address, model, caliber, serial number, and distributor markings are on the lower left. The barrels are mostly round aside from the octagonal muzzle sections and are numbered on the brass breech plate. The two included Broadwell drum magazines are marked in a circle around the top plate with "BROADWELL DRUM - CAPACITY 216 ROUNDS- CALIBER 45-70 GOV. - DATE OF MANUFACTURE 29 DEC. 2008- [Cyrillic manufacturer marking]/GATLING GUN." The tripod is constructed of wood and black painted steel. Storage/shipping crates for the gun, drum magazines, and tripod with appropriate markings are included.
