Lot 270
* A RARE 1874 GARDNER PATENT .303 BRITISH DOUBLE-BARRELLED CRANK WOUND MACHINE GUN, serial no. 853, De-activated (2007), brass-frame, detachable stick magazine feed and barrel outer casing, approximately 47 1/2in. length and 23 1/2in. in height, on a steel deck mount with wheel-operated worm screws for azimuth and elevation, the frame with a copper plaque inscribed 'MOMENTO 'S.S. ISTAR' FROM J. NIKO' Provenance: William Gardner, previously a captain in the Union army during the American Civil War patented and built his first prototype crank wound machine gun in 1874. Not having access to the necessary funds to finance further production, he sold the American patent rights to Pratt & Whitney Co. Hartford. Connecticut. The gun operates with two breech-loading barrels in parallel. One complete turn of the crank loads, fires and ejects each barrel alternately. The ammunition is loaded via a stick magazine feed which can be continually topped up to allow a rate of constant fire, capable of firing at a rate of 545 rounds per minute. During its initial Ordnance trials, the Gardner was well received, with just some criticism of the feed system, which Pratt & Whitney developed further and re-entered for trial in 1877. Its reliability was astounding, in a test run of a 5000 round continuous fire, it had just one malfunction (after 3019 rounds fired, a case failed to extract). In other trials in 1878, it out performed its main rival for a Government contact, the Gatling, quite comprehensively. The 2-barrelled Gardner fired 1000 rounds in just 60 seconds less than its 10-barrelled competitor, and the 5-barrelled Gardner fired 1000 rounds 17 seconds quicker than the 10-barrelled Gatling and 68 seconds quicker than the 5-barrelled Nordenfeldt. Unfortunately for Pratt & Whitney, a previous contract to Gatling went unchallenged as the U.S. Government of the time had no interest in developing machine guns -those it had were used only sporadically against Indian uprisings. The British Admiralty however, were i pressed and in 1881, in an independent trial held, the Gardner was judged to be the most effective in 9 out of 10 points of comparison against all its rivals and was subsequently adopted for all branches of the service where a light weapon could be used without the need for a limber. The deck mounting system found on this example was designed by a British Naval engineer.
