Description:
A relic WWI flare pistol named MARK II for the 10ga flare. Not to be used with a 10 ga shotgun loaded shell. With a frame is brass and a steel barrel. Metal is pocked with patches of fine pits in places from being below deck and has an area of roughness, along the length of the barrel from firing flares in this gun, and the gun doesn't locks up , possibly the locking latch is missing.Bore is frosted from continuous use. . The American walnut wood grips are good and have a dry finished look. The frame has a mottled , mellow/aged brass look. Overall an example of a WWI used flare pistol used by the U.S. Navy and the Merchant Marine! This is a rare variation as a New York Naval Yard.Hammer cocks , locks and fires when the trigger is pressed. Looks like the barrel is sprung. Maybe some donkey tried to fire a 10 ga shotgun shell? Not sure it can be made to fire so it is a good Naval relic, most likely made by Remington. Also good for rare parts!Shipping may be higher than stated as shippers raise their prices twice  year without notice! When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
