I show four Australian factory sectioned 1.5" signal flares. Loaded by ME (inert) and dated 1954. Scarce items.
Brown Smoke Puff Mk3T.
G.R 16. Red and Yellow Stars with Yellow Tracer.
Green and Red Star.
Double Green Star.
Here is an updated photo after finding a Yellow and a Red factory sectioned flare from the same series.
All Australian filled at ME Factory, Maribyrnong, Vic in 1954.
The flare filler part is possibly wood and not flare compound that would weep and spoil the cartridges if exposed to the air.
Thanks tigbrand.
I also did not know if Australia made inert flare cartridges until I found these examples.
The original 4 came from a display that was dismantled and I was lucky to get them and a few artillery sectioned items: artillery, mines, Jap mortar circa 1975.
I have never seen 1"sectioned flares so wonder if they exist? These items are really scarce it seems. I was lucky.
