Yes I was lucky. The person I bought a 3 barrel Japanese pistol from ,with a holster,found these 3 cartridges in the chambers.
Fired caps and empty but a very lucky find. I paid an extra premium , much to the seller's surprise.
This was 5 years ago now and importing any ammo or flares is nearly impossible now. Ron.

So, it means that now flare cartridges stay in the countries where they are ? No chance to switch from a collection to another one (in different country of course) ,
