US 37 MM Dummy Flares

Post by Brian Keith »

I picked these up in a box lot of various flare cartridges. I thought they were really great. Excellent way to exhibit what a flair looks like without have ANY danger of live pyrotechnics. Both have the primer dented and are stamped “DUMMY”, just the one has the printed info. Full info is: “SIGNAL CARTRIDGE MK IV/CONTRACT NO. / MANUFACTURER I.F.S. Div./LOT NO. DUMMY/ DATE/INSPECTOR J.W.T.” I also has an anchor stamped on it and stamped “INERT”. I’m very happy to have found them.

I was not even aware that there were Dummy rounds! I have three live USN 37mm flares (one dated Nov 43 and the other two dated May 44). Same manufacturer but the inspector on all of them is "G.H.B."

Thanks for sharing!
