EXTREMELY RARE INGERSOLL REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK HARPOON GUN. SN None. Cal. 45-70 Blank. Very rare harpoon gun with special 12″ stepped bbl on a Remington No. 1 Rolling Block action. In addition it also has a patented custom solid nickeled brass stock with straight grip & crescent butt. Right side of wrist has two patent dates of “1885” and “1886”. Accompanied by one special harpoon dart made of all steel with a 7-1/2″ round section with a bolted on clevis and a tapered 10-1/4″ rod from the nose on which the harpoon point is mounted. The point is connected to a braided line which presumably is attached to a heavier line to which the whale hunters would attach a float or hold manually to keep track of the whale. The line attached to the point is attached off center so that when the bolt is pulled to the rear the point digs in and turns sideways giving solid purchase to control the whale.
