It looks to be a 'Parts Gun' with a 'Hotchkiss of Paris' Barrel and a U.S. 'Bridgeport' made carriage, but, I like it anyways and would be glad to have it in my collection!
It is worth visiting the IMA site to look at the detailed photos. Their graphics would make the basis of a great pamphlet or manual on the Hotchkiss Mountain Gun.
