Hi Phillip,

Life in the US of A is good, despite the current madness and that on top of an election year (which are always pretty mad on their own, without COVID-19 chucked into the mix!!)

I regret to say I did not photograph the flare before disposing of it, so am working from 11 year-old memories. I hope someone on MLU has an original or two to show if my memory is serving me correctly ... or not!

The flare pistol: what make, please? I assume the Mark is No.I Mk.III*.

Do you have the 'Case, Leather' for the pistol? They were very common as NOS at one stage many years ago, but most had had the shoulder strap removed for some unknown reason.

Best regards

Mike

Default Where have all the manufacturers gone, gone to .......

Sorry Mike, forgot to answer your question.

It is a MkIII, 1941, made by CSR. (Colonial Sugar Refinery Company). I have a holster (with the strap) in a box somewhere.
