Description
NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA, C.1900. ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL CAPTION SAYS "MAXIM GUN AT WORK IN AMBUSH", THE GUN IS A COLT MACHINE GUN AND IS NOT CONCEALED. AS IT HAS NO AMMUNITION BELT IT IS NOT IN ACTION. MOST LIKELY THE VISITING V.I.P. IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES IS INSPECTING THE WEAPON. (DONOR: T. COLLINS)
