U.S. WWII 1942 International Flare Pistol Co. Brass Frame Model 52 Flare Gun with Steel Survival Container & Box of 12 Flares. One of the better made flare guns of WWII was the âModel 52â produced by the International Flare Signal Co. of Tippecanoe City, Ohio. This flare gun is referred to as the "Model 52" not because it was designed in 1952 but because at one time this gun was part of the International No. 52 marine distress signal kit. In fact, the flares included with this gun are marked on the body with, you guessed it, â#52â. This 37mm, single shot, single action, top break flare gun was made in 1942. Rarely do these pistols bear wartime dates! It also has matching number "83" on both pieces of the brass frame. In very good overall condition, in complete working order with firing pin still present. It even still has an original coiled lanyard attached by an "S" clip to the ring on the bottom of the grip.

The left side of the frame is marked with an Eagle holding a globe with swastika (test proof) there is a very faint mark on the left side of the side that appears to be the same Eagle proof mark. The right side of the slide is marked with a faint â35169bâ. The right side of the frame is marked â169bâ. The right of the chamber is marked with a German army acceptance stamp and â169bâ. The front sight is a rounded blade fixed to the front of the slide. The rear sight is a square notch dovetailed to the rear of the slide. During the war the Germans produced, captured and reissued many different pistols to their troops. Most if not all pistols had specific holsters and some pistols even had multiple kinds of holsters. Captured pistols where sometimes even fitted with new, German made holsters during the war. The standard pistol in the German army was the P.08 which in 1938 was replaced by the P.38. The P.08 was replaced but remained in production until 1945 by Krieghoff. During the German occupation of Belgium the FN factory produced around 319.000 Browning Hi-Power 35âs or Pistole 640(b) for the German army. By 1944 the production stopped at 63.000 Pistols due to the liberation of the factory by the allied forces. Three different models were produced under the German occupation. The early and first model with the slotted grips were marked WaA613 indicating the Arms-Inspector mark of Tennert. The second model produced In the period between January 1941 and May 1942 retained the adjustable rear sight and were marked WaA103 indicating the Arms-Inspector mark of LÃ¼ttich. The third and last model produced are marked with the WaA140 which also indicates the Arms-Inspector mark of LÃ¼ttich. There are various examples of these to be found which can possess both the tangent rear sight and a fixed rear sight. At the beginning of 1943 the Germans introduced an entirely new serial code numbering system. Starting at 1a until number 99999a. this started again in 1944 with 1b and continues to about 6300b when the production stopped. Most of the Browning Hi-Power 35âs or Pistole 640(b) were issued to Waffen-SS and FallschirmjÃ¤ger Personnel. A lot of period photographic evidence will illustrate this!

WWII NSDAP 1944 FN HI POWER 9MM SEMI-AUTO PISTOL

Scarce 6.5" Barrel! Antique Colt Model 1862 Police Pocket .36 cal. Percussion Revolver. The revolver is one of the very desirable guns that was produced with the longest barrel length of 6.5â. It has the typical fluted cylinder of the 1862 Police model and is serial numbered 14518, placing its production in late 1862. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard single line single line New York address that reads "ADDRESS COL. SAML COLT NEW-YORK U.S. AMERICA". The second half of the address line is heavily worn. The lower left side of the frame, forward of the cylinder is marked in two lines "COLTS / PATENT". The left rear web of the trigger guard is marked 36 CAL to avoid any confusion that might arise and make the user think it was a .31 caliber pocket revolver. The bottom of the barrel assembly, frame, trigger guard, and butt are each marked â14518â. The outside of the cylinder is marked âPAT. SEPT. 10th 1850â in one of the flutes. The bottom of the wedge is marked "9917". The bottom of the arbor is marked â4518â. Under the back straps on the wood grip is hand written party illegible numbers, the numbers written appear to be "4518" but it is extremely hard to make out and not 100%. In 1861 Colt introduced two new pocket model revolvers in their more powerful .36 caliber chambering. Until that time, all of Coltâs âPocketâ guns had been .31 caliber, or in the case of some of the Root revolver production, .28 caliber. These new pocket revolvers can be considered âscaled upâ 1849 Pocket Models or scaled down Belt Pistols (aka âNavyâ models), as the guns had features of both their smaller and larger siblings. The two new models were known as the Model 1862 Police and the Model 1862 Pocket Revolver of Navy Caliber. The âPoliceâ model resembled a scaled down, early production Colt Model 1861 New Model Belt (Navy) revolver, built on a Colt Model 1849 Pocket frame. The .36 caliber revolver had a five shot fluted cylinder and the grip frame and trigger guard were of Colt Pocket size and style. It had a round barrel, a creeping loading lever and was available in 3 Â½â, 4 Â½â, 5 Â½â and 6 Â½â barrel lengths. The Pocket Navy was essentially a scaled down Model 1851 Navy built on a Model 1849 Pocket frame, with a .36 caliber, 5 shot, rebated round cylinder that was roll engraved with the same Stagecoach Hold Up scene used on the Model 1849 Pocket. Like the Police model, it used a pocket-sized frame and trigger guard, but had an octagonal barrel and conventional swinging link loading lever like those used on the Model 1849 and Model 1851 revolvers. Like the Police, it was available in four different barrel lengths ranging from 3 Â½â to 6 Â½â, in 1â increments. The standard finish for both revolvers was blued barrels and cylinders, color casehardened frames and silver-plated brass backstraps, grip straps and trigger guards. A few of the early production âPoliceâ revolvers were produced with iron grip frames and trigger guards, which were silver plated as well, but these are only found on very low number, early production revolvers. Early production revolvers will be found with the desirable Hartford barrel address, but the majority of the production carried the typical one-line New York barrel address. Although both models are referred to with the model date of 1862, both went into production in 1861, and would remain in production until the end of the Colt percussion era in 1873. During that time some 47,000 of both models would be produced, manufactured concurrently, and utilizing the same serial number series, regardless of model. According to Colt researcher and author R.L Wilson, it is believed that about 60% of the total production of the two models was of the 1862 Police pattern, which would be approximately 28,200 guns, produced over about the 13-year production period. Compared to the Colt Pocket, with about 331,000 produced, this makes the 1862 Police a much less common gun, with only one being manufactured for about every eleven Model 1849 Pocket Models.

During the early stages of World War II, the U.S. military recognized the need for a lightweight rifle that would bridge the gap between the heavy and cumbersome M1 Garand rifle and the standard issue sidearm, the M1911 pistol. The goal was to provide troops with a compact and easy-to-handle firearm that offered more firepower than a pistol but was lighter and more maneuverable than a full-size rifle. In 1941, the U.S. Armyâs Ordnance Department contracted with various manufacturers, including Winchester and General Motorsâ Inland Division, to develop and produce the M1 Carbine. The rifle was designed by a team led by firearms designer David Williams, who drew inspiration from the successful M1 Garand and the short-recoil action of the M1 Thompson submachine gun. The M1 Carbine featured a gas-operated, semi-automatic action and fired a .30 caliber cartridge known as the .30 Carbine. The cartridge, while less powerful than the standard .30-06 ammunition used in the M1 Garand, offered greater capacity and reduced recoil, making it more controllable and well-suited for short to medium-range engagements. The M1 Carbine saw widespread use in World War II, becoming a staple firearm for American troops. It was praised for its reliability, ease of use, and versatility. The rifle was not only issued to U.S. forces but also provided to allied nations through various lend-lease programs. After World War II, the M1 Carbine continued to serve in the Korean War and saw limited use in subsequent conflicts. It also became popular among civilian shooters and collectors due to its historical significance and manageable recoil. Overall, the M1 Carbine played a significant role in U.S. military history, offering a lightweight and reliable firearm that filled a niche between pistols and full-size rifles. Its compact design, firepower, and ease of use made it a favored weapon among soldiers in various roles and contributed to its enduring legacy.

1938 Deutsche Werke Ortgies 6.35mm Semi-Auto Pistol. The left side of the slide is marked "DEUTSCHE WERKE WERK ERFURT". The right side of the slide is marked "ORIGIES PATENT". The barrel is marked "6.35mm" with a "Crowned N" proof mark. The right side of the frame is marked "Crowned N" Proof mark. The bottom of the frame in front of the trigger guard is marked "GERMANY 90826". The top of the back strap under the edge of the slide is marked "38", "R", and "G". The pistol was produced in 6.35 mm, 7.65 mm, and 9 mm variants. Although not expensive, at the time it was of advanced design and high-quality construction with relatively few parts and well-sealed against dirt. Metal components were forged or machined, and assembly in general made no use of screws, even securing the wooden grips with metal clips. The hammerless action depended on a spring-loaded striker to fire the cartridge. Unusual design features included the safety and the multi-caliber magazine. The safety was a lever inset into the back of the grip and, with the gun cocked, forced backward out of the grip into the âsafeâ position by spring tension from the firing pin upon depression of a button under the slide. Thus, engaging the safety simultaneously reduced tension on the firing pin spring. To disengage the safety, a shooter simply would squeeze the grip, pressing the lever forward and locking it flush with the back of the pistol. The Ortgies was a well-balanced, sturdy weapon that found considerable favor in competitive shooting. In 1921, prize winners at some 70% of principal shooting competitions had chosen Ortgies 7.65 mm pistols, and the winner of the German championship on September 26, 1921, at Halensee, Germany, took the prize firing an Ortgies. At the other end of the user spectrum, outlaw John Dillinger carried an Ortgies.
