WW2 era US Navy 10-round signal flare plastic container from Abandoned Ship Signaling Kit; rare

Description WW2 USN Abandoned Ship Signaling Kit container for 10 Very MKII signal cartridges and MK4 Hand Projector. Rare original WW-II issue in good condition; hard-to-find nowadays. Original WW2 era US Navy issue – these flare containers were part of emergency Signaling Kits included in each lifeboat. The navy issued these kits in sealed metal cans. Inside each of these cans was a clear-plastic watertight container which contained MK4 Hand Projector flare gun, and 10 individually sealed 10-Guage signal flares of various colors. The canister is about 5-3/4 high and 2-1/2” in diameter; one small crack on the screw-on lid is noted for accuracy. An original interior cardboard spacer is still present. Most of these Abandoned Ship Signaling Kits were used as intended; most of the flare canisters did not survive. This is pretty hard-to-find WW2 era USN collectible nowadays. This original WW2 USN Abandoned Ship Signaling Kit container will be a great addition to any collection. This WW2 USN Abandoned Ship Signaling Kit container was part of the diverse collection of militaria items that I’ve recently purchased spanning from WW1 to the War in Vietnam.

Please check out my site periodically for new arrivals; I’ll be listing more items in the next few weeks.
