Johnson SubMarine Gun... any interest?

[greenwood_60]

Is anyone interested in a Johnson SubMarine Gun? I've been looking around trying to find more information on this amazing contraption... (see here: James BOND 007 Thunderball Underwater Battle. Sean Connery - YouTube skip to about 5 minutes in to see the action...).

Anyone have any information on these? This is the single barrell model.

Thanks!

Can't help you, but thought I'd share this picture I snagged from another forum:

I own 4 or 5.......2 dbl barrel and 3 singles (I think) . Looking for a 4 barrel. What do you want to know. I beleive I have the original catalog tucked away.

Any chance you know of a digital copy of the manual?

After reading a bit more about them, any idea of keeping it has long since faded away. What's a used single barrell one worth?

Hey guys, found this thread via a search and thought I'd chime in.

I also have a single-barrel SMG, with a twist.. the serial # is 000107. I believe my grandfather designed some pieces for this gun, which is how we ended up with this early production model. My dad used it a few times (brave guy!) but it's been in a closet for decades.

Going to clean it up and hang it on the wall, but any info / manuals etc would be appreciated. I'd like to get a proper (vintage) shaft for it but have no idea where to start.
