For the H&K fanboy with everything

I was not aware that HK made flare pistols. There is one being sold on gunbroker. So far the price is $25. They have a real “H&K” look about them.

This 19mm H&K flare pistol is in excellent condition with only one tiny spot of surface rust on the safety retention spring and one small patch on the magazine (see photos). This is probably the best designed signaling device of it’s type ever made. It ejects the spent flare shells out the top and the magazine holds 5 rounds.

    They made those and a 26.5 mmm break open models years ago. The 19mm guns are cheap, the value is the flares. When you find the 19mm flares there rare and expensive.

    PS – Interordnance is selling like new HK and GECO flare guns for cheap (under $50) per their latest emailed bulletin. More traditional looking design.

    I remember seeing this 19mm model in magazine ads back in the 80’s.

    The break open 26.5mm ones are common now. I got one a couple years ago and still see them at various places as mentioned. They’re nicely made and work well. Lighter than the Eastern Block surplus launchers too.

    That’s the EFL, isn’t it? HKPro also mentions a 75mm Saluting Gun M635 too.
