inertord Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Very Early Lake Erie Chemical Company 1.5" - 37 MM Gas Gun. These launchers were manufactured for LECCO By The R.F. Sedgley Company Circa 1930 - 1933. Measurers 23 3/4" Overall with 10" Barrel. The barrel completely detaches from launcher for loading as shown in photo.

dalbert Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Very nice photos of the early LECCO tear gas launcher! Is it a recent acquisition? David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertord Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hello David, Yes I just obtained it this week for my collection. I can take additional photos of specific area(s) for you if needed. Stay safe, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Frank, I think the photos you posted are great. Unless there are any other features you think should be photographed, I think we're good. Thanks! David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertord Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Added 3 additional photos to The OP that will hopefully give a better visual idea of the barrel locking arrangement. The Barrel and Receiver are both stepped and recessed to allow them to interlock and prevent foreword movement of the barrel when installed. Also a single recessed locking pin in the receiver face and two index steps in the barrel, prevents rotation when installed. The mentioned locking pin is manually user controlled by a lever on the left side of the receiver. The arrangement of same allows the barrel to be installed from either of two positions and a 90 degree "Twist Lock" Rotation, to allow for quick installation or removal.
