Here’s another set of Maxim photos, this time of an 1899 pattern gun made at Enfield. Photos courtesy of the UK MoD.
Enfield 1899 Maxim Photos
That’s a bonnie gun, I like all the brass.
Bronze, lovely. Durable, robust, self lubricating Wonder why it is used to rarely in weapons where weight is not an issue?
What a thing of beauty!
Damn, those guys just loved British military bronze casting, epitome of the era; what a charmer!
