Description

Robert Shaw "Quint" hero harpoon rifle from Jaws. (Universal, 1975) The vintage screen used harpoon rifle consists of a production modified WW Greener Mark 2 Light Harpoon Gun, built under license by Navy Arms Company. This 36.5 in. long gun with wooden stock and stainless steel barrel and hardware was modified for the production with the installation of a stainless steel barrel sleeve to avoid corrosion by exposure to salt water. In addition, a cable attachment to the 14.5 in. long razor-tipped harpoon was fitted. The gun is highly visible used by Robert Shaw as "Quint" when tethering the iconic yellow floating barrels to the gigantic shark and can also be seen in the Jaws BluRay DVD documentary extra: The Shark is Still Working. Comes with an LOA from production designer and 2nd Unit Director Joe Alves.
