I don't know whether its made by Hotchkiss or for Hotchkiss or a UK or U.S. Hotchkiss licencee ?
It is unmarked. But certainly of the 1890s - 1900 era. It's missing parts and if there was a complete one about that would be both a great help and a miricle !
I also need to see a clear image of the left side of one of these guns to get an idea of how the shoulder rest might have attached.
The barrel is 5 5/8" including breech, the cone 2 3/4" high , mounted on a bakalite base. With double recoil cylinders it may be a later version than the image?
It is bored through, though nothing can be fired through.
Any assistance is most welcome.
