Original Italian WWII Model 1900 Flare Gun by Castelli of Brescia with Aluminum Grips - dated 1940

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a good battlefield pickup condition Italian Model 00 (Model 1900) flare signal pistol dated 1942 with factory original checkered aluminum grips. It bears clear manufacture markings on the left side of the frame:

CASTELLI - ARMI - BRESCIA 1940
MOD. 00

The flare gun has some of the original finish, but overall looks to have been improperly stored for quite some time, so there is a lot of surface rust on the exterior. It may have been dropped on the battlefield and recovered some time after the war, resulting in the rust damage.

The left rear side of the frame is marked with serial number MM138, while inside the breech both the frame and barrel a marked with assembly number 734. It has a strong Hammer spring, and as far as we can tell is mechanically fully functional. The firing pin is intact and functional, and the original lanyard ring is still intact.

A very nice battlefield pickup example of an Italian WWII Flare gun, ready to add to your collection!
