Item Description
Original item: One of a Kind. This is a fantastic and rare German WWI Druckknopf (push button) style flare pistol, which has had a VERY interesting life. It is covered with various markings from different eras.
The pistol measures 10 inches in overall length, with an 5½ inch barrel, and shows wear from long service, and most likely arsenal reconditioning. It has the large push button on the left side of the frame, the design element that gave this model its name. It has a steel frame and barrel, and as far as we can see it is fully functional. It breaks open correctly, with a functional extractor, and dry fires as well.
The left side is stamped 191, likely a serial number. There are Imperial proof marks on the right side of the frame and barrel. However, there is also an an SA inside a rectangle on the side of the barrel, for Suomi Armeija (Finnish Army). This would indicate that it may have been sent as aid to Finland by Germany and used during the Winter War and Continuation War against Russia.
A fantastic collector's item as well as a research opportunity! Ready to display!
