    Lovely shots :)
    Looks like quite crude cast finishing on the pistol but suppose bearing in mind the use that's not important :)

    Hi Lee, these are interesting, I like the very last shot of the manufacturers stamp, almost looks like GOLD.

    You must have very large hands! rolleyes1.gif This flare gun was made during WWII and fired a 37mm parachute flare. "37mm" is not a typo! This is a BIG gun!

    I'm open for ANY sugestions that'll help me improve my macro shooting. I'm on my first D-SLR and lens (Nikon D40X and Tamron 18-250 w/macro), so the future is wide open for me. :D

    This is the breech release for another flare gun; a Columbia MOD-3

    I had to crop quite a bit.

    Thank you all for the kind comments and thank you in advance for your help.
