The No.1 Mk.5 signal pistol closely follows the design of the classic WWI Brass Webley \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003cstrong\u003e029699\u003c\/strong\u003e. The aluminum grips show some wear with counter checkering on both sides. The pistol appears to be fully functional, with no mechanical issues.
