Extremely Rare Schermuly Flare Pistol

This is an extremely rare WWI Schermuly flare pistol fitted with an extra long barrel extension. The design is based on the WWI Webley MKIII* brass flare pistols of the same period however, this variant has a much longer barrel extensions measuring 6.5 inches with the overall barrel length being 9 inches. We believe it was made this particular length specifically for the Royal Navy, as the increased barrel length gave a much greater range when firing flares at sea and also made it easier to hold whilst aboard a moving ship. During WWI & WWII the Royal Navy would fire flares high into the sky at night whilst patrolling for German U-Boats. The pistol has the correct wartime period British proofs and Schermuly Patents 179997.

An FAC is required with the correct variation to purchase or we can deactivate to order with a full working action (cock, strip and dry fire).
