US M8 Flare Gun

Surprisingly enough, my ten year old brother bought this for me. He wanted to start a collection, but he thought it would look good in my room. Well, after getting the unwanted grime off, I found the markings.

Very nice example.

This flare gun holds a special interest for me as I found the handle to one whilst MDing on an old USAAF base a few years back

I searched the area extensively where I found the handle, in the hope of finding the barrel, but I never did find it

Oh well.....

Train ? Bully ? Probably very similar

More like bully. :P He always is by me when I research, and he actually knows his history. He has helped me in the past by being my second pairs of eyes, when at flea markets and antique stores. I can thank his help for him finding a 1917 trench spike, now in my possession.
