This is a Very Rare Pre-War Japanese 39mm Flare Pistol. It is dated Feb 23, 1932. Barrel was made by one Manufacturer, the Frame by another. I believe it was Marketed by Kawaguchia Firearms Co.

This Example of mine is the only one I know of.

I assume it was a commercial product, but I really do not know.
