MG ID please

[Slugbalancer]

Can anyone ID this MG? The weapon itself looks like a Gardner gun but the carriage doesn't.

[RMD]

It's a Nordenfelt.

[RMD]

The carriage is a 'Naval Landing Carriage'.

[Slugbalancer]

Indeed it a Nordenfelt gun.



Thanks RMD.

RMD, don't you sometimes feel a little embarrassed at being able to thus answer off the trop of your head bizarre IDs of 19thy century machine gun carriages?

[RMD]

The word is 'surprised'... A friend actually owned one.

Now the weapon has been ID'd, can anyone throw any light on what range of figures it come from. This is a photo I found that shows the set it's part of.

Redoubt Miniatures colonial range.

Tim, I've had a rummage around the Redoubt Miniatures web site and can't find a Nordenfelt anywhere. Am I go blind?

[RMD]

There is this, but it doesn't seem to be the same model or crew:

The figures with your model look like Copplestone's style to me.
