Colonial Sugar Refinery Sydney, 1942
Description: In my family prior to 1962. Polished and mounted in shadow box since 1998. Used on circumnavigation of yacht Cythera. Grip is black. Original WWII Australian ANZAC 1942 dated MkIII* C.S.R. Brass Flare Signal Pistol. WWII-produced example of the Australian military Mark III* flare pistol, as issued and used during the last part of World War I and early in WWII by British and Commonwealth Forces. The pistol is fully marked, with maker markings, and “DD Broadarrow” Australian Military proofmarks. This particular Mark III* signal pistol was produced by The Colonial Sugar Refinery of Sydney. The Mark III signal pistol was adopted in 1911, as an improved version of the earlier Mark II pistol, which had been adopted in 1905. Like the previous Mk II pistol, it was a brass flare gun with a tilt-down, break open loading mechanism and a single action lockwork. Although the Mark III remained in production through the end of World War I, it had in fact been superseded by the Number 1 and Number 2 signal pistols which were manufactured from steel instead of brass. These patterns were adopted in 1915 and utilized many of the same parts as the Webley Mark VI service revolver. The left side of the frame is marked in three lines: CSR Logo / Sydney/ "D (Broadarrow) K”/ III / starburst... condition is pristine. Fired twice since 1962. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: CSR Model: Very Bore: 26.5mm Barrels: 1 Manufacture Date: 1942 |
