Original U.S. WWII Nickel Plated Brass M2 Pyrotechnic Pistol by Killgore Inc. - Serial K1426
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Well this is something that we have not had before! Most are familiar with the large 37mm Signal Flare pistols made by International Flare-Signal Co., but this is a much smaller "M2" model, with a frame and 2 1/4" "barrel" made entirely of brass. Instead of having a breech that opens, the flare on these muzzle loaded, with the rim of the casing held in place by a brass latch on the left side of the pistol. Also unlike the larger version, these are double action, and even have a grip safety. They were designed for "Driggs-Faber" type 2 inch long flares, about 37mm in diameter.
The bakelite grip scales give the full manufacturer information:
INTERNATIONAL FLARE-SIGNAL DIV.
KILLGORE INC. WESTERVILLE, O.
MADE IN U.S.A.
PATENT NO. 1712382
The pistol measures about 7 inches tall, and 5 inches long. It is in very good overall
condition, in complete working order with firing pin still present, though it is worn down.
Very interesting and ready to research and display!
