Original Japanese Cold War Era Mayday Distress Signal Pistol Caliber 25mm
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very interesting and small post-WWII Japanese flare pistol, the “Mayday” Distress signal pistol, in 25mm caliber. The pistol is intended for emergency marine and aviation use.
In order to load and fire the pistol the barrel is unscrewed from the frame, a flare is inserted in the rear of the barrel, the pistol is reassembled, the striker on the rear of the pistol is manually cocked, and the safety (consisting of a wire loop that swings backwards from the top of the frame to block the forward movement of the striker) must be disengaged. Although originally of Japanese origin, this flare pistol was imported into the USA by F.I.E. in some numbers.
This example appears in working order, and the barrel unscrews properly without issue. Comes ready for further research and display.
