I am attempting to identify the make of an old silk gun.

Here is a link to a photo of the gun and a drawing of the logo that is located on the barrel of the gun.

Does anyone recognize it or have any ideas.

Someone that looked at it thought maybe National Magic Company.

Thanks for the help.

Doubt it, looks like "home assembled" prop. The funnel should be gaffed with a sliding inner holder, right? Undoubtly is vintage but commercially made I don't think so....

There is a sliding inner holder. It could be "home assembled". If so it is very cleanly made. Funnel show no visable signs of a joint. Thanks for the information.

This is definitely not from National Magic Company. I agree that it is vintage, but probably homemade and not from a known or established manufacturer.

I bought one of these today at Kutztown Magic Convention. Unless you got rid of yours, we know there are at least two of them. Not homemade, if you ask me.
