Thought you guys might like to see this stuff. The Greener harpoon gun is extremely rare. The barrels are actual set used barrels I purchased from Lynn and Susan Murphy of Marthas Vineyard who worked on set during filming. The barrels were all black and used as floatation for the camera platforms and for the workings of some of the mechanical sharks.
I painted and distressed the one barrel, the other I left as is

Well that's something you don't see everyday. Awesome, thanks for sharing that.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.

Re: My Jaws film prop collection
Very nice collection, I remember seeing that movie at the local theater back in '75 I think it was. I can still see that damn severed human head popping out from the smashed boat. You just didn't see stuff like that in the movies back then, for that sort of graphic violence you had to watch the nightly news coverage of the war in Vietnam, and that was over by then.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Those are bad ass. Have you tried them?
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Have not fired the Greeners. Mostly out of fear of damaging one of the harpoons. They are impossible to replace
