I've found a flare pistol, should I buy it?

[Bongo_526]

I've found a flare pistol for sale on the collectors guild that looks really good. But thats as far as my knowledge in that area goes. Can anybody who knows more about them than me tell me if its a good buy or not?? (for that price!)

It is pricy but a hell of an early flare gun
Check you local laws before buying it

Hello, the Erma-Erfurt Heers started in 1936 ( very rare ), The 1938 is scarce, but not rare, and in that condition is at least $200 overpriced.

My opinion, I've only collected these for 45 years so what do I know??

For $600 you should get the original holster and cleaning rod with it !

Peter is not shipping any weapons / grenades anylonger elsewhere but canada itself.

Thanks for the replys

Can anyone recommend a place where I can buy one that is of a similar year / quality that isnt overpriced??
Preferably with a holster and cleaning rod!

Hello, No problem finding you the flaregun for $400 or less, I will have to look to see what accesories I may have for sale. The problem is it is expensive for you to ship from the USA to Florida, and I do NOT take Paypal, I Only take Western Union for international shipping.

Good Collecting, Howard

I have no idea what shipping would be to Australia, depends on the total weight ands size I guess...
Please feel free to send me some pics of anything you have for sale.
Thanks again

due to file size I can only upload one at a time

Flare gun is actually better than these photos indicate due to reflections on its shiny surface.
