We'll start where the history of these guns begins- my own personal piece. I'll try to continually update this as I learn more but for right now my knowledge is pretty limited. What I know is as follows:
- Created sometime in the mid 60's- most likely '64, and I believe it's a prototype piece.
- My grandfather worked on the design (internals) and possibly was the tool and dye maker for them as well.
- This particular gun has no safety stickers (or residue indicating that they were once there).
- It's been used once, and has remained in a closet for over 40 years. No spears, box or cartridges.
I own 2 of these and make ammo in brass and/or stainless steel that are reusable. Mfriedman1969@yahoo.com

In the USA, One company imported these spearguns. Tarpoon Skin diving shop in Hialeah, Florida. Jennifer who now owns the dive shop considers the use of the SMG in the United States part of her father's legacy. Her father passed in the 1980s and the family was always incredibly nice.
