*VERY RARE* WW2 Type 90 Japanese Naval Double Barrelled Flare / Signal Pistol**UK 2014 DEACTIVATION** Sn 5636 - 5636

This is a very rare example of an Imperial Japanese Navy double barrelled 28mm Flare/ Signal pistol. Introduced in the Japanese year 2590 (1930), it was given the designation 90 using the last 2 digits of their year. Only 10,300 were ever made and many of those were lost at sea, as a result they are very scarce. This example is in its original, as found condition. The black composite grips are original and complete. The pistol retains its lanyard ring, selector switch, safety switch and barrel opening lever. The rear cocking lever ring is absent. The pistol measures 7 inches overall with 2 x 4 ½" barrels. The flare pistol is well marked and along the breech has the markings for Kayaba Seisakusho (Kayaba Manufacturing Co), the Naval anchor and Japanese military inspection mark. The serial number 3320 is stamped on the receiver and the extractor on the barrels. The pistol is complete apart from the cocking lever and has been sympathetically deactivated. The breech of the pistol opens as it should. This is a very rare item deactivated to UK specification in 2014. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 5636
