Pawn Stars had an original Gatling Gun on their episode this week. The guy was hanging tough, he was in the market to get over 300k, but the shop wouldn't budge of 220k. Prices seem a bit high, even for original guns, although they will get it some day as everything goes up. However, it seems to be a much later gun than Civil War era, and the magazine is a later design also. If you like a real Civil War gun (Well, a faithful reproduction) that is period correct, you can get one on this site for only 34k. Functions like the real one, and also uses period correct paper wrapped bullets in steel sleeves, something that an 1862 Gatling Gun had to use. Check it out.

Cruising the Milweb site for military vehicles and came across a couple of Stuart M3 tanks for sale. Stuart tanks were sent to Commonwealth countries under the lend lease program early in WW2. Undergunned with a 37mm main gun, and a unique radial engine, the light tank performed poorly in North Africa and Europe, but was much better suited to jungle warfare in the Pacific.
The Brits also converted these tanks into armored personnel carriers and command vehicles by removing the turret. British nicknames for these tanks included "Honey", "Kangaroo" and " The General Stuart". These tanks for sale are in the UK and include the gun and a new set of tracks, but do need a little work.
