Bought this at an antique show for 300 dollars and was wondering if anyone else has come across a similar kit or know of any intact. The barrel reads “SIGNAL PISTOL MARK 5 R.F. SEDGLEY INC. 1943” and the flares production date is stamped as 1941. I believe these were issued primarily on larger life rafts but may be mistaken due to the limited info online.
