INERT DEACTIVATED. RARE, British, Experimental, 25 Round .303 Feed Strip for the British Model 1893 Gatling Gun. - O 2283 The Accles Gun was developed by J. G. Accles (1850-1939), who had worked as a Senior Engineer for the Gatling Gun Company, making many improvements to the design of the gun, before taking over ownership of the British Gatling Gun Company in 1891. The gun was built for Accles by Armstrong Mitchell & Co. at their armaments works at Elswick. The major fault of the Gatling gun was that the ammunition feed was worked by gravity. To alleviate this shortcoming a positive feed was developed by Accles with the form of a feed strip so the gun could be used in any position. This was used in the Model 1893 Gatling gun and was introduced in the new military.30-40 Krag cartridge, and came with a feed strip system very similar to the Hotchkiss machine gun. The U.S. Army bought 18 of these guns, with the option to have them converted to Bruce Feed if the strip system was not satisfactory. The benefit of the strip feed is that is was mechanically actuated by the guns rotating cylinder of the gun, pulling the cartridges into the feed mechanism. This allowed the gun to reliably feed at any speed and any angle of elevation, where gravity-based systems could become unreliable. Ultimately the feed strip system was not adopted and in 1897 all of the American 18 guns built with it were converted to the tried and tested Bruce feed. This is a British Accles feed strip for the British Model 1893 Gatling guns made for use in the British Army. The feed stirp is made in the British .303 caliber from pressed steel with spring tabs holding the cartridge cases and a pressed piece of the strip stabilising the bullet. The strip contains 25 unfired .303 mark 2 rounds which are headstamped C 2 5 (Cordite mark 2 rounds, 5 being an unknown British manufacturer). The rounds have a large unfired copper primer. The price for this rare and experimental British army Gatling gun feed strip and rounds includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess inert rounds in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display.

**ORNATE**LARGE**Early 19th Century North African / Turkish Ottoman / Moroccan/ Arabic 32 Bore Snaphance Or Snaphaunce Lock Musket With German Silver Decorated Furniture & Sling. Sn 23004 - 23004 A snaphance or snaphaunce is a type of lock for firing a gun or is a gun using that mechanism. The name is Dutch in origin but the mechanism cannot be attributed to the Netherlands with certainty. It is the mechanical progression of the wheellock firing mechanism, and along with the miquelet lock and dog lock are predecessors of the flintlock mechanism. It fires from a flint struck against a striker plate above a steel pan to ignite the priming powder which fires the gun. Examples of this firearm can be found through Europe, Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East. The muzzle loading weapons were generally handmade weapons, and consequently they widely varied in their construction. They were seen as very personal weapons, and unlike the typical military weapons of the time which were very plain and utilitarian, the weapons tended to be well crafted and were usually intricately decorated. They usually had very long barrels. The stocks were handmade and ornately decorated, featuring a distinctive curve which is not seen in the stocks of other muskets. The function of this curve is debated; it may be purely decorative, or it may have allowed the weapon to be tucked under the arm and cradled tightly against the body, as opposed to being held to the shoulder like a typical musket or rifle. This is an early 19th century Snaphance or Snaphaunce lock musket. It measures 5 Feet 4 Inches overall length. It has a 48” sighted round steel barrel which is approx. 32 Bore. The bore has heavy staining and residue consistent with age. The musket has a full stock, the woodwork has intricately tooled German silver bands and stud work decoration. The musket has the distinctive curved butt and a steel ram rod stuck firmly in place (to avoid possible damage we have not attempted to remove it). The gun is fitted with period plaited rope sling. The weapon has the wear and patina to be expected of a native weapon of its age. As is common with these weapons the action does not cock and dry fire but the hammer and trigger move. Due to size delivery of this item will be by arrangement, at cost & within the UK only. NB As an antique muzzle loading musket no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 23004 £450.00 |
