I am still looking for ANY information regarding the European Use of the Original Costons flares from 1859 through 1881. Photo's, Patents, contracts & orders, ANY INFORMATION IS NEEDED ! !

Re: RARE RUSSIAN FLARE PISTOL
Hi Signalman,
Indeed this looks like an improvised flaregun. As far as I can see it was constructed around the receiver of a Mosin Nagant rifle. Maybe made from a blown up gun or a factory reject? Looks like they screwed a ring around the front part of the receiver, somehow fixing the bolt in place after cutting off the bolt handle. Before firing you have to cock the (original) firing pin by pulling the knob on the rear.
Talking about barnyard gunsmithing..... ;-)
