WW2 USA SKLAR signal pistol / flare gun dated 1945 in great condition; original rope lanyard included. Mechanically excellent with crisp action – hard to find this nice.
Original WW2 era American 37-mm signal pistol manufactured by Skylar Steel Products Co. in San Francisco, CA in April 1945. This is in excellent example of the war-time production of the SKLAR signal pistol with all original parts and finish; correct original rope lanyard is still attached to the handle. The entire pistol was made from cast alloy materials to conserve the valuable brass and steel; just a few screws, springs, and the firing pin are made of steel. This specimen is only slightly used; it is in excellent overall condition – the bore is nice and clean with no pitting; all original parts; all are intact without typical dings or contact marks. Original light-gray patina throughout; this specimen has not been cleaned or re-finished. About 11″ / 27.9 mm in length; barrel is about 8-1/4″ / 20.8 cm. This big boy weights about 4 pounds / 1.8 kg. All parts are tight with no play; this specimen is mechanically excellent. These are the actual photos.
This type is never to be tried with modern ammunition – these aluminum alloy flare guns were designed only for shooting low-pressure flare cartridges only and are likely going to disintegrate if tried with modern ammo. That would illegal as well. This scarce original WW2 USA SKLAR signal pistol has not bee cleaned or tempered with; scarce in such authentic condition. This original WW2 USA SKLAR signal pistol will be a great addition to any collection. ThisWW2 USA SKLAR signal pistol was part of the diverse collection of militaria items that I’ve recently purchased spanning from WW1 to the War in Vietnam. This personal collection contains many interesting items, some are unique, but there is just too much work to list it all at the same time. Please check out my site periodically for new arrivals; I’ll be listing more items in the next few weeks.
This original WW2 USA SKLAR signal pistol /flare gun is not a “firearm” under US law and needs no FFL to transfer or own; this WW-2 era flare gun is obsolete; its spare parts are no longer made. I have a few more WW2 era signal pistols available for sale, plus several scarce WW2 fighting daggers and WW1 trench knives – please take a look in the store’s Militaria section.
