The Story

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great example of a World War One Mark III 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 and has a serial number under the barrel, 11247. The top of the barrel reads as follows:

MARK III THE REMINGTON ARMS - UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE CO. INC.

REMINGTON BRIDGEPORT WORKS BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT. USA.

The Flare pistol is Not Available for Export.

The frame is constructed of brass and retains a wonderful mottled patina. The pistol retains its original hardwood grips though one has a visible repair crack. 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. The pistol has some verdigris spotting and oxidation in spots across the flare pistol.

Unusual, hard to find, and very attractive, making a perfect Great War collectible. Ready for further research and display.
