Re: Unkown Line Thrower??
I can not read the writing on the gun, but it surely can be a schermuly. But I doubt that this is a linethrower....looks more like a shotgun to me? The linethrowers I know do have a second handrest or handle, and defitately look different. I think this is a conversion to fire something else...
Re: Unkown Line Thrower??
What caliber? ? If one inch or even 10 ga. I would guess it is either a flare pistol, or a conversion to line thrower.
If 12 gauge, it could also have been altered to fire a shot shell.
What serial number ?

Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.

Re: Unkown Line Thrower??
It originally was meant to be a line thrower. It never had a grip handle attached or it was removed.
The patent was GB late thirties and 1940 US.
12 guage - Was a civilian project or a commercial prototype.
