Flare pistol 1895, of the Hebel brand This flare pistol was used by the German army during the first World War. You can see the capital letter ‘M’ on the left side of the weapon. This is the brand of the company Mercedes which was producing at the time of typewriters. Calibre 4 (26, 7mm), total length 36 cm, weight of 1,530 kg The flare pistol that I offer is in very good condition, and is sold with the case of a rocket (the case, present a few brands of oxidation and rust). The flare pistol has only a slight defect, which is a trace of oxidation under the firing pin. Except this minor detail, this flare pistol is very well preserved and has been polished before offered on sale. The mechanism works very well and there is no play..
