Original British WWII Webley No.1 Mk.5 Flare Signal Pistol with Aluminum Grip & Cut-Down Barrel - Serial 029699

Item Description

Original Item: Only one available. The No.1 Mk.5 signal pistol closely follows the design of the classic WWI Brass Webley & Scott MkIII* flare pistol, with the distinctive flared muzzle. However instead of brass, for WWII Steel flare pistols were the norm, a much more sturdy metal when used in the field. This example has had the flared muzzle cut down to make the pistol smaller.

This example is in good condition, with very nice aluminum grips with an intact retractable lanyard ring. The pistol still retains most of its original black painted finish, a wartime expedient factory finish which was both inexpensive and durable. The black paint is slightly worn on the barrel but is still 95% retained. The side of the barrel and receiver are both stamped with serial number 029699. The aluminum grips show some wear with counter checkering on both sides. The pistol appears to be fully functional, with no mechanical issues. Ready for further research and display!
