The No.2 Mk.5 signal pistol closely follows the configuration of the No.1 Mk.5, except that instead of the long barrel with a belled muzzle, it has a short barrel with a stud for latching to a through-armor fitting in many British WWII AFVs (armored fighting vehicles).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is in fair condition, with very nice plastic\/bakelite grips, intact lanyard ring, and most of the original finish intact.

The hammer still functions as intended, but the user now has to pull it back from the top which is a bit more difficult. There are proof marks on various parts of the pistol, with the serial number \u003cstrong\u003e111196\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pistol appears to be fully functional, with no mechanical issues. Does show age and pitting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example comes ready for further research and display!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42603506761797,"sku":"ONSV24SJA073","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV24SJA073__01.jpg?v=1743178005","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-british-wwii-no-2-mk-5-flare-signal-pistol-for-armored-fighting-vehicles-with-partially-broken-hammer","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
