British Signal Pistols

[breakeyp]

Peter's description of a long barrel 1inch pistol with added support handle is a design developed and used by the firm Schumerley. It fires a rocket launched line thrower.

The RAF used Webley 1.5 inch flare pistols with square lug (apparently taken from land service?) and screw interupted thread designs per attached photo. The screw interupted barrel fits in the spring loaded aircraft mount shown to the upper right of the photo. The upper left pistol has a remote firing solenoid mount attached to the pistol.

Forgive me but that famous British company, believe it or not, (Originally Dutch I believe.) is called Schermuly. (Now part of Pains-Wessex.)

Now I need to find one of those barrel extensions.
