Good catch(es)!
The Mark IV is getting harder to find these days; it is WW2-era.
They usually run at least $200-250 if you can find (a nice) one.
The Mark V in 10 ga is the most common and can pick them up for $50-100.
There should be a serial number visible when you open up the breach.
If it was military (Navy) it'll have a proof and probably a date also.
There's really not much info out there on these, I'll try to find my copy of article written on the Sedgley flare guns....
Don't no nuttin' about the Russian one.

Apparently the Russian is a model 1944 / M44.
CCW Flare Gun will take some adjustments though....to keep that Sedgely from printing.

Nice.. but be careful.
You could burn the place to the ground with those.

Deeply, and in purple to boot.

I’ve seen polish ones that look very similar almost identical, but I have never seen a Russian one. Fwiw.

The Russian/Polish/Czech ones you see for $130 are modern ones, not the WW2/Korea era which are seldom for sale, and usually busted and rusted.
I found the same pistol identified as Chinese (same markings and S/N very close), but I'm not sure about that.
Regardless I wouldn't have hesitated at $100 either

Actually the 296 is on mine too and it could mean factory 296. Same as on T53 Chinese mosins.

The Sedgley is "striker fired" and double-action only.
It's a pretty simple setup, the big screw at the back of the frame is actually a plug, take that out and the assembly comes right out.
I thought I had some pictures of one I took apart but can't find 'em (or never took 'em).

Alas, that seems to be true of most everything that's interesting...
