Flare Gun Forum

Hi Signalman,

Thanks for your quick reply!!!
It's really a shame that the second part isn't there anymore...
But anyway, it's a very nice piece!

Greetz, John

Do you mean like this?
(see picture below)

Hi all,
Recently I bought a perfect looking Weber St&B 15.
Now I noticed in the grip (at the back) 2 holes.
Can anybody tell me the use of these 2 holes?
Please see the pictures below:

WOW, what a wonderfull group of these old brass flare pistols!!!
I can't compete with that
However it's strange that I find other information on the internet about "ST & B"...

Just a little impression of my favorite brass pistols.

On the butt of the pistol is written : St. & B 14 so it's made by Stantien & Becker at Lübeck, I believe.
Is this the 173rd pistol they made as it has serial number 173?

I bought a German Weber flare gun of 1914.
The serial number is G173, an early number I believe.
It looks really great and original.
Does anybody have some more information about this gun?
