RARE-1940 German Kriegsmarine Doppel Schuss 27mm Flare Pistol
Description: This rare stainless-steel German Navy SLD (Signal und Leucht Doppel Schuss model - "signal and light double shot model) was adopted by the Kreigsmarine in 1936 and was used to the end of WWII. Approximately 4,000 were made by Walther, 10,000 total. They were issued to battleships and U-Boats. The overall length of this large pistol is approx. 14". The 9.125" round 27mm barrels have excellent bores. The pistol was manufactured from stainless steel (INOX Rostfrei) and has a pair of 9-inch barrels and a 4-inch wooden fore end to give the user a more secure grip when the pistol was fired. While most German army flare pistols also accepted some sort of grenade or explosive charge, the Kriegsmarine saw little utility for such projectiles and used their flare guns strictly for signaling and illumination. This piece is in excellent condition, minor small chip on bottom of one grip side, missing a set pin in receiver, fires and functions perfectly. Serious inquiries only, only 10,000 were made during WW2. Thanks for looking! $3,500 OBO Email any questions or Call/Text 352-999-0615 Price: $3,500.00 Buy Now Contact Seller |
