Kriegsmarine SLD Flare gun /Ost See marked

[LH 600]

Here is my new SLD Flaregun out of the woodwork in Norway:)

The condition is as new. I think this have been taken extra care of

The pistol also have the O 342 marking on back grip. OST See marking. I have never seen that on a SLD before. Only the North See numbers.
Some info from a advanced collector tells this about the O markings :

He says to me that the O (Ostsee) property markings are correct to see with the KM property marking from the late 1930s through the war.

Well here it is . Hope you like it

I did an appraisal of a collection recently that included 3 flare guns but not one of them comes even close to this example for craftsmanship. Congradulations to a very nice addition to your collection!:thumbup:

It is great to see your flaregun. I have had for 40+ years a brass double barreled flaregun. I am always looking to learn more about it. I believe it is from the 1930's. The manufacturer is AWW. You don't see many flareguns. Yours is beautiful!
