WW2 German Luftwaffe Fliegerleuchtpistol Mod. L – Flare Gun DOUBLE BARREL SIGNAL FLARE PISTOL
- Category
- Firearms Flare Gun
This double-barreled, 26.5mm signal flare pistol was issued to Luftwaffe aircrews in order to give them a method of communication that did not rely on their radio transmitters.They were either marked Fl. 24483 (Fl. = Flieger/Pilot) or Ln. 24483 (Luftwaffennachrichtentruppe / Signals-Radio)Made of aluminum, bakelite, and steel, an EXCELLENT example of the Luftwaffe Flieger-Leuchtpistole L (Aviators Flare Gun L)! Undated, it is manufactured by Waffenfabrik Emil Echkoldt, Suhl, producer code Ecko or ojr(only 4500 pieces were produced with this code)and retains 95-97% of the original finish! Clearly marked with the Luftwaffe part number, LN24483, both barrels are marked with a 4 in a circle (indicating “4-Bore”) over a Waffenamt acceptance stamp. All parts are matching. Features a frame mounted safety with Fire and Safe markings, and uses a breakaway design that is activated by pushing the release lever, located under the trigger guard. This action releases the locking lugs, opens the action, cocks the pistol and automatically sets it on safe. After closing the action, the pilot can use selector switch on the rear of the frame to determine whether they want to fire the Left barrel, Right barrel or both barrels simultaneously.
I also have a spare frame and barrel that can be bought together or separately (to be discussed)
