Original British WWI 1915 MkIII Webley & Scott Brass Flare Gun German Ordnance 1917 or 1918Original Item: Only one available. This is a very nice early Great War example of the English military Mark III flare pistol, as issued and used during the last part of World War I. The Mark III signal pistol was adopted in 1911, as an improved version of the earlier Mark II pistol, which had been adopted in 1905. Like the previous Mk II pistol, it was a brass flare gun with a tilt down, break open loading mechanism and a single action lockwork.
