Nordernfelt Gun - London, UK - Static Artillery Displays on Waymarking.com

This gun was captured by the Second Betallion Royal Fusiliers Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915.

About the gun:
"The weapon was designed by a Swedish engineer, Helge Palmcrantz. He created a mechanism to load and fire a multiple barreled gun by simply moving a single lever backwards and forwards. It was patented in 1873.

Production of the weapon was funded by a Swedish steel producer and banker (later weapons maker) named Thorsten Nordenfelt, who was working in London. The name of the weapon was changed to the Nordenfelt gun. A plant producing the weapon was set up in England, with sales offices in London, and long demonstrations were conducted at several exhibitions."
