Antique Questions Forum / Flare Gun from 1883? Interesting Find
« on: April 24, 2010, 08:37:48 pm »
Hey guys, new to this forum. I was garage saling today and happened upon this flare gun which really interested me.
It is stamped :
"ORD. DEP. U.S.N.Y.W
1883
anchor symbol
J.A.H"
i assume the JAH was the name of the owner. I got it from an old man who said it was his grandfathers when he was in the navy. I tried finding information online about antique flare guns but i cant find anything like this piece. What do you guys think?
Here are some pictures, thanks.
