German Model 1894 Signal/Flare Pistol, Antique, 2485

This is an antique Imperial German Flare or Signal, designated the Model 1894 (aka Hebel Model 1894). They were used from the 1890s into WWII. This is an early 1890s four digit serial number but these were standard issue during WWI. Maker appears to be B&E as that is stamped on the left side of frame after the serial number. Barrel is octagon-to-round with length being ~9"; bore ~26.5mm. No finish remains and has scattered light to moderate pitting. Wood grips are worn from use and a little loose. Steel construction. Lanyard ring on butt of grip.
Overall condition is about fair; action is functional and top-break works; trigger-guard/release lever is bent (see images).
