Dear experts. Could it be a patent model of an 1800s machine gun?


Recommended Posts

Dear experts.

In my collection of American patent models I have an interesting example that I believe is an early model of a machine gun. It was discovered in Illinois. Would somebody be able to identify it? The model is made precisely and the materials are wood and brass.

Thank you!
