A U.S. Navy Mark IV signal flare pistol made by Sedgley during the Second World War, chambered for 10 gauge flare cartridges. It is a used piece and the supplier grades the overall condition as very good. No measurements, markings or serial number are recorded in the listing.

Flare pistols like this one are collected in Delaware by people interested in naval and wartime shipboard equipment, and this example's very good condition fits a display shelf or a militaria cabinet. The listing files it under shotguns because of the 10 gauge chambering, but it is a pistol-shaped single-shot signal device, and this store transfers it through a dealer the way the page note describes, so a buyer brings photo ID and completes Form 4473 there. If you need dimensions, a look at the stampings or the serial number before deciding, ask and request photos, because the supplier has not recorded them.
