Nazi Luftwaffe Flieger-Leuchtpistole L or Aviators Flare Gun L.
Description: This is an excellent example of the Nazi Luftwaffe Flieger-Leuchtpistole L or Aviators Flare Gun L. These double-barreled, 26.5mm (4 Bore) signal pistols were issued to German Luftwaffe aircrews in order to give them a method of communication that did not rely on their radio transmitters. This pistol was manufactured by the extremely famous Emil Eckholdt firearms company Suhl, Germany. The tops of the barrels are both marked with a 4 in a circle (4-Bore) over the Luftwaffe Stick Eagle acceptance mark. The signal pistol is marked with the serial number 23459 on the forward lower portion of the right hand side of the frame, and the Luftwaffe contract number FL (Flieger or “aviator” in German) 24483 is present on the opposite side of the frame. The gun has a frame mounted safety with Fire and Safe markings. This Flare Gun L is in fantastic condition. The pistol retains about 85-90% of its original finish, with most of the wear and finish loss confined to the sharp and high edges and the muzzle crowns, down the sides of the barrels, and along with some minor handling nicks and scratches. The pistol is in excellent mechanical condition and functions perfectly, with a very crisp, tight action. It is missing the barrel hinge retaining screw, but this does not hinder its operation. The two-piece mottled reddish-brown Bakelite grips are in excellent condition as well. They retain sharp checkering, with only the most minor handling and finish wear. They are free of any of the breaks, chips or cracks which often mar Bakelite grips, especially when they are nearly 70 years old !! Condition as shown. Please view ALL photographs. $30 Insured Shipping. No FFL Required. PATAK-PHILLIPS FINE ARMS. SOLD Manufacturer: ECKO Model: L Serial Number: 23459 Caliber Info: 4 Bore |
