Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Well this is something that we have only had a couple times 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 plated brass. Instead of having a breech that opens, the flare on these are 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 plating appears to be covering the original model information on the left side of the barrel.
The bakelite grip scales give the full manufacturer information:
INTERNATIONAL FLARE-SIGNAL CO.
TIPPECANOE CITY, OHIO
DRIGGS
FABER
SYSTEM
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. Very interesting and ready to display!
