Description:
This is a single live round for the Billinghurst Requa Volley Gun. Dr. Requa, who from 1849 to 1853 served an apprenticeship in the gunmaking trade under William Billinghurst of Rochester, N.Y., changed professions to become a successful Dentist. In 1862, along with Billinghurst, he patented the multi-barrel volley gun which bears his name and offered it to President Lincoln. The Billinghurst-Requa battery gun predates the Gatling Gun and for this reason it is considered to be the first practical machine gun used in war. This original round remains in very good condition showing some age darkening. A neat piece of Civil War history. Please see our listing, Item #HAS-40 for our book about the history of the gun and cartridges which we will include for no additional charge with this item.
