Hello all, I'm new to this forum. Someone is asking for some information on a firearm that was passed down to them and attached are a few photos. He doesn't know the caliber or manufacturer but there are some manufacturing stamps on it.

If you need any additional views or information that can help I can see what I can find out.

Thank you,
Warren

It looks like it could be some kind of Liberator type single shot gun.

Proof marks look British, looks a bit like one of the many 1 inch flare pistols.

Thank you for your replies. It looks so small to be a flare gun but.... that's why I'm here. Would this have been used on ships and does any have a guess on a date range of manufacturing?
