Thanks to the outstanding teamwork of ORCA members John Bechtold, Larry Lauve, and John Taylor I was able to finally place this in my prop collection.

Beautiful.  A couple of questions...does it work?  Have you shot it?  It has a recoil pad so it might have a kick to it.  What is the caliber of the charge?  Dominick

Thanks to everyone!
Dominick I’m sure it works, but I haven’t shot it and don't plan to. Those harpoons are impossible to find if damaged. It shoots a .38 caliber blank made specifically for it.

I had one just like that, a 38 cal in the case, brought into the office of my chandlery by a lobsterman maybe 15 years ago, just show and tell as we were both gunners, but he wasn't selling. I wonder if it's the same one?  Does the gun have any New England history you're aware of?  Super cool score!!
