Yes Thunderball had many Voit and US Divers spearguns and other dive gear in the film.
My old friend jack Prodanovich made some of the Thunderball underwater battle scene props.
One of the custom compressed air gun prototypes hung on his garage/shop wall for 40 years.
Thank god it's in the estates collection and safe from destruction or loss.Jack also wore a watch used in the film for many years, before it went to a museum back east.

I have a very rare film I made of Jack Prodanovich and the legendary big gun builder John Warren. I shot in Jack's garage years ago. Rest assured parts of it will be shared here in time.;)
Cheers, Don

Looking forward to it

The second gun is one of Jack's from the film Thunderball. It was on display at J+J's in San Diego recently.
