Voit Vintage Speargun

[waytoodeep]

So was cleaning out the garage and found my voit speargun.
Don't know if there was actually an extension at the rear, got it that way.
Anybody know much about this?
Enjoy the pics!

@Sam Miller III It would be interesting to know if/what extension tube was on the back. When I got it many years ago it didn't have anything. I also had to put a tip on the spear but have no idea what the original tip looked like. Probably going to band it up with 1/2" rubber as it is quite functional.

A Voit branded JBL, it had an extension about 6 or 8 inches long with a rubber butt plate. You can get the butt plate from Trident Scuba.
You put the extension against your chest or stomach to cock the bands.There was an aluminum cup like device available you could put on your weight belt. The extension was put in the cup to cock the bands.

I bet Alec Peirce would know about the gun. He answers emails too.

The orginal Voit could have had an extension on it or a rubber boot. I used them in the mid 1960s when I was a kid.
