Original U.S. WWI Remington Mark III Flare Signal Pistol, Used By Fox Studio For Filmmaking - Matching Serials 15352
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic condition, World War One flare pistol made by the Remington Arms Company at their factory in Bridgeport Connecticut between 1915 and 1918. It uses a 10 gauge flare in a 9 inch steel barrel designated the MARK III marked with all the manufacturer information across the top of the barrel as follows:
MARK III – THE REMINGTON ARMS – UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE CO. INC
REMINGTON BRIDGEPORT WORKS – BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, U.S.A
The frame is constructed of brass and retains a wonderful mottled patina. The pistol retains its original hardwood grips. Grips, frame, and barrel all bear serial number 15352. This design features a "spur" trigger, and a "top break" loading system, typical of most flare pistols. Measures 12 1/2 inches overall, with a 9 inch barrel.
Interestingly enough, the bottom of the brass frame is stamped with FOX STUDIO. This flare pistol was more than likely utilized as a prop for an unknown film production, perfect for more research.
Unusual, hard to find, and very attractive, making a perfect Great War collectible.
