Gizmo, I'll chime in here since no else has.
Let me begin by saying that I know next to nothing about flare guns. However, I see them for sale quite frequently and $225 is a bunch compared those I've seen. Most run in the under a hundred bucks range. I'm sure there are certain models that hold collector interest though. But if it were me and I was simply wanting one as either a novelty or to be used in case I was shoot down at sea I'd look else where.
