Caliber: 36.5 mm

Price: $875

Inventory # flg_0014

Pictures:

DESCRIPTION: Scarce French aviator flaregun from the World War One era. The flaregun was developed specifically for the French air force during the Great War.

There are following markings stamped on the left side of the brass frame, "Mod. 1918, B-te SGDG Grivolat Gerest Fils & C-ie" and "A" (in the octagon). Some other maker's markings are also stamped on the frame. Steel barrel, trigger and hammer, brass frame with hardwood grips. High quality of machining and metal finish. Barrel length: 5 inch. Complete with the lanyard ring. CONDITION: Excellent. 95-96% of original, blue finish is still on the barrel, hammer and trigger, with a balance turning to brown patina.
