I have found a reference to a photo that states it is a curtiss flying
boat equipped with a colt machine gun, 1915.

Curtiss delivered flying boats to Russia in this period and Russia was
also purchasing colt mgs. Does anyone know of any pics with the colt
machine guns placed on early curtiss flying boats, Russia or US in the
1914-1917 period? These mgs were the potato diggers, not the later
marlin aircraft mg.

I'm a Vol. at the Glenn Curtiss Museum. My current job is working up a
set of plans for the H-1 flying boat. This brings me into contact with
many old images from the photo arcive. I will try to find something for
you my next trip down......tom
