H077574 DOUBLE BARREL FLARE PISTOL. (Leuchtpistole)
BACKGROUND: The German armed forces utilized two basic models of flare pistols, with one having a short barrel and the other a long barrel, that were introduced in 1928 and saw service right up until the end of the WWII. Both of the basic flare pistols were issued with a specific holster and were capable of firing over forty assorted flares with different functions and purposes. During the war additional expedient models of flare pistols were produced and captured enemy stocks and WWI pistols were also utilized. Besides the two basic models of flare pistols the Luftwaffe also developed a double-barrel model flare pistol.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tooled alloy construction double barreled flare pistol with a protective copper toned lacquered finish and steel and bakelite fittings. The pistol feature dual, roughly, 16.5cm long, 25mm diameter, tooled alloy barrels with a hinged receiver end. The bottom edge of the receiver has dual, pull back triggers with an integral trigger guard. The triggers may be activated individually or in unison as so desired. The forward edge of the trigger guard has an additional push, finger lever which activates an internal barrel locking mechanism and also enables the barrel hinge to be folded forward to load the pistol. The top reverse edge of the receiver has a three position, movable switch which enabled the operator to select either the left or right barrel respectively or the central position which would activate both of the barrels simultaneously. The left side of the receiver has a two position movable safety/fire switch. The trigger, barrel selection switch and the safety/fire switch all still function. The pistol has molded black bakelite grips with a repeating, embossed, diamond pattern for a secure grip. The grips are attached to the pistol by a single, flush, screw headed bolt. The pistol is well marked with stamped Waffen-amts, Luftwaffe requisition number, "Ln24483", serial number, "3164L", and manufacturers code "ojr". No permit needed to own in Canada.
