I'm gonna guess it's a WW1 era Verey (sometimes spelled Very) flare gun. The grip certainly looks like one, but the long ass barrel extention thing is a bit strange.

Cool stuff in any case. Where did you get it..?


Interesting, I didn't think it would be that old. I felt like I paid more than I should, but that was on the basis that it was much newer that that. Only thing I know about it is the long bit has been replaced at some point, because it's really obviously not part of it when you hold it in your hand. It's a totally different age. I got it from a tiny little antiques place in a small town I visited a couple of weekends ago. Not really visible in the shot is a handle running along the top of the barrel that helps you hold it horizontally, but the wood on it looks much newer than the gun bit that goes in your hand.

:smirk:

Some 8 weeks ago I bought an new PVR, not because the old 320GB one near 7 years old was faulty, just that the remote control, some buttons weren't always working. A new remote price was about $75 on eBay.

A major retailer was having a sale, something like 25% off. I found the new model of my PVR there and it was the 1 TB one for $300 :smirk:

Today I googled as you do, 'remote control buttons intermittent' and thought being the old technician I am (was) I'd have a go.
Yes, you guessed correctly. Easily taken apart, discovered gunk over some off the circuit board & buttons, cleaned up and it now works like a new one :smirk:

Guess I'll put the new model away for a while.

The moral to the story, if it is broke Google first :up:

See this topic from a couple of years ago about a similar story.

Note: A personal video recorder (PVR) is sometimes referred to as a digital video recorder (DVR).

^^^ Nice :)

Hey, today I changed my motherboard/bios battery after some days resetting the PC time :smirk: and this after changing keyboard batteries only a few days ago. Time marches on!

I got my seats. I'm not sure if I want to have them professionally restored or just go with the natural patina.

I'd leave the frames alone and get the seats changed. They don't look like they'd be too comfortable to sit on for extended periods.

Looking great though.

Aren't you going to need to remove the centre arm rest before you can sit?

I don't really plan on sitting in them. They're going to part of a team themed area of my game room. However, they are more comfortable than they look.

I was thinking about having the frames restored to their original colors.

I think the seat and seat back are also necessary to maintain the look/feel/originality. But I may just make a proper stand for them and leave them the way they are.

You should take that luggage rack off your station wagon and install it under your eyes, droopy.

I guess when the most interesting thing in your life is peppers you've got to pretty much hate on everything.
