This is a Federal Model 203-A Tear gas flare gun. Not a rare gun in its normal form. This example however is Israel Proofed, and is also a classroom training weapon. It has had a post welded into the Chamber to prevent the insertion of cartridges !
I do not collect these so I am putting this up for sale on Gunbroker ( http://www.gunbroker.com ) but I thought it should be listed for reference here, as it is the only one I have seen.

Hi,
I have also one like yours, but made by Webley-Schermuly ( model A / R 38 ) from 1970.
Best regards

This flare gun came both as a pistol, and then could have a shoulder stock, and / or a longer barrel attached, as shown by Kurt in his photo.
