Got A Speargun From My Dad Who Died Some Months Ago...
Very Old Told Me Before 1980 ...
Air Powered ... 100cm Long Or Somthing
Ocean Pacific .. Made In Spain ...
Any Luck To Track It Down ? Please...
 
Nemrod were the main Spanish manufacturer of pneumatic guns in that era, haven't heard of Ocean Pacific? Is the trigger mechanism mounted mid-gun or at the rear?
 
these are the pics

Are you looking for spare parts? Do you want to try and use it for fishing again? Certainly looks like an old Nemrod gun but Nemrod went belly up a few years ago :waterwork

no man the gun works just fine :) i just wanted to know its story
 
I didnt think Nemrod ever made a mid handled gun (but as ever I could be wrong, the handle looks very like my old nemrod band gun though) but I read somewhere that Cressisub did many years ago. Are there any logo's or patent no's on it, maybe someone could help from there?
 
Being the sad anorak that I am I know that Nemrod made just about all of their pnuematic guns "mid-handled" as opposed to Mares and Cressi who made most of their guns "rear-handled". The Mares Sten series was very popular even in the UK, many of the "older" boys still swear by them. Nemrod had the orange coloured Clipper series.
 
Well I didnt know that, I had a bright blue Nemrod rubber gun with yellow rubbers and blue wishbone nuts from the early 70's that lasted amazingly from 1972 untill 1999, all it ever had was a new bands and wishbones, the same spear lasted all that time rofl
 
I had the same gun in a few different sizes, cazador series. Howard Jones had one in fairly good nick when he had his shop at Fort Bovisand, brought back so many memories!!! :) Spear was very heavy though for the quality of rubbers employed but caught my first fish with it so will never be forgotten.... :waterwork
 
well guys ... only thing i can help .. it says clearly Serie Safari Ocean on the one side
on the other says Tifon .. there was another but it has went off .. ... so we got Serie Safari Ocean - made in spain embroided on plastic and Tifon on another patch
 
OK now Im siding with Spaniard, Tifon rings a bell from my old nemrod gun, but then it could mean "hold here" for all my Spannish is worth :(

I have a nemrod gun, and I have seen many of the different pneumatic models (all were mid handle) that gun does not look like a nemrod, there are no distinguishing features about it that says nemrod(but mabey it is a rare one?). There were a few other mid handle pneumatic guns as well, the Techni sub series and jaguar rings a bell. That looks like a classic speargun in great condition.
