Original WWII U.S. Navy 10 Gauge Sedgley Mark 5 Signal Flare Pistol - dated 1944
Description: Sold WWII U.S. Navy 10 gauge Sedgley Mark V Signal Flare Pistol. This is an excellent example of a 22mm parachute flare signal pistol Sedgley Signal Pistol, Mark V. As part of consolidated wartime efforts, lifeboats for all sea going Merchant Marine vessels were to have a standard compliment of emergency provisions overseen by the United States Coast Guard. They in turn had direct coordination with the US Navy. Sedgley made two signals pistols for the US Navy, for the Bureau of Ships they supplied the 10 GA Mark V with a 22mm bore, and for the Merchant Marine, the Mark-IV as approved by the USCG. On the top strap of the barrel it reads: "SIGNAL PISTOL MARK 5 R.F. SEDGLEY, INC. 1944". The grips are marked USN on both sides, which is uncommon, as often the marking was removed when being sold out of Navy storage. The barrel and frame are both marked with serial number "242692", each with a different number suffix. Manufactured by R. F. Sedgley in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Caliber/ Gauge: 10 Gauge; Serial Number: 242692 Working Order: Firearm has not been tested. Please feel free to ask questions. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
