August 16, 2025Aug 16 #1 How is this for some old rusty steel? This looks like it sat outside for a 100 years.I was very happy to take it home with me.Sad to say I have no history about this 08.
August 16, 2025Aug 16 #2 Great looking piece, will you be doing a restoration or just leaving as is? Thanks for sharing. Scott
August 16, 2025Aug 16 #3 I have a feeling…and a little bit of digging…you can find out the history….by serial number …probably a piece from a VFW ..etc. in the area. Really amazing piece of history. It needs some TLC.

Scott This gun was taken apart cleaned and painted.I installed some metal strips to the back legs to attach the feet so the gun could rest on all four feet.I reassembled the gun by using small nuts and bolts so it could be taken apart with ease by the person who ends up with this gun and wants to do a proper rebuild.Now I need to find out what this gun is worth. 23 hours ago, Edelweisse said: I have a feeling…and a little bit of digging…you can find out the history….by serial number …probably a piece from a VFW ..etc. in the area. Really amazing piece of history. It needs some TLC I will have to try that.
