Guest Posted 31 July , 2018 Share Posted 31 July , 2018 Sorry I can't find anything on this Old Flare gun. May not be from the great war. I may be int eh wrong forum also. It is a solid steel forged octagon barrel with Spring launch. It appears to have thread in the barrel where an extension could be added?? Any help would be appreciated. All works OK, and I launched a rubber cylinder I stuck in the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought also - does the inner part go beyond the barrel plunger style when 'fired'?

Radlad Posted 4 August , 2018 Share Posted 4 August , 2018 (edited) Looks more like a toy 'pop' gun for firing corks to me. What is the bore size? I would expect between about 13mm and 19mm, if bigger, then ot would fire specially supplied rubber balls Edited 4 August , 2018 by Radlad spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8HANTS Posted 4 August , 2018 Share Posted 4 August , 2018 What ever it is, there appears to be a thread at the muzzle, so is it missing something? If its not a thread, but just serrations then I would go with the rubber ball 'pop' gun idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 5 August , 2018 Share Posted 5 August , 2018 Bit on the heavy side for a toy pop gun although I see what you mean - my kids have examples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't confuse modern manufacturing methods with those around during the later 19th century and the early 20th century. I have seen many examples like that. I stand by my identification of it as a toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 14 August , 2018 Share Posted 14 August , 2018 Fair enough Radlad! 'Tis same bore diameter or near enough as my boys' plastic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
