Details
The GECO flare gun is a vintage German army surplus 26.5mm flare gun. Designed to fire a wide assortment of 26.5mm flares, these German built flare guns are well made and more refined than other European flare guns from the same era. The fit, function, and overall operation of the GECO flare gun is superior to virtually all other flare guns from the same era and it still ranks high even with compared to modern day flare guns.
We have just received a new shipment of these unique flare guns. Examining the date codes on each one, we have seen dates ranging from 1959 up until 1973. Each flare gun is unique with the condition varied between each and date codes being spread across so many months and years. Our expert team has ensured that each flare gun functions and does not have any cracked grips that would take away from the value or operation. The finish on each flare gun will show signs of use and age, as all are over 40+ years old and were actually used by soldiers in the West German and later German army.

- Authentic German Army Surplus

Very nice flare gun in used but not abused good condition. Mine is made 8/64. It was cheaper a few years ago. But it is now 6/16 & I was lucky still to get one. Also ordered the holster to go with it. Nice historic item. Thank you Keep Shooting!

Outstanding Vintage Bundesgrenzschutz Issue! 1961
Review by Sharky

The flare pistol I received was in outstanding shape, slight wear to the blued barrel, and parkerized frame. It is dated 1961 and has the old BMI agency stamp indicating it was Bundesgrenzschutz issued (German Border Police BGS). The BMI stamp was slightly ground off to decommission it and a DE BMI stamp added to indicate the German Agency that surplussed it (German Interior Ministry: Deutchland Bundesministerium des Innern). The wear on the barrel and frame show that both are original mates. This has to be one of the earliest dated P2 flare pistols I've seen! The holster was a different matter....... it was in terrible shape and delaminated. I contacted Customer Service and they promptly mailed me a replacement with an apology. The holster was the later model holster used by BGS and Army with the integrated flare holder, 1970's - 1980's version. I would highly recommend this pistol. This is probably the very last batch we will see coming out of Germany! A Cold War Classic!

Great Flare Gun

When I bought this flare pistol it was only 60 dollars and that was a great deal because every other place had them for around 100. This is probably my best flare gun because it was brand new when I got it and it came with the original manual as well. But you will want to buy the holster for it because they don't fit very well in standard pistol cases.

Ordered two more.(on the way=[3 total].The last time I fired VARY PISTOLS was in the NAVY. A trainer T-38 refused a flag wave off, he was checking my oil with a cocked landing gear. I popped two in front of him and hit the plane (both shots.) . STARTED SOME GOOD GRASS FIRES TO BOOT. My point is 'got to wait until 4th of July to test fire over the bay. Don't want to alarm the Coast Guard. I see they are flying off the shelves like HOT CAKES. QUALITY DOES LIKE THE FAST LANE-- THANKS-- ED.

I received the parkereized version. Boy this thing is built like a siege mortar. I finished fitting the 12 gauge insert today. When I test fire it, I will try the 12 gauge first. Probably over the bay on the 4 July followed by a parachute (26.5mm). Thanks again for the GENUINE ARTICLE.ED. PS Got in on that Nato ammo just in time. Good stuff travels fast. Your article on the ammo was a detailed. MASTERPIECE.ED.
