RARE Leuchtpistole L "Fliegerleuchtpistole" guns
Guys,
These are most likely two of the rarest in production for the double barrel Luftwaffe Flare guns.
The Sander variation (with a very cool logo) was the first to be produced most likely in late 1934 or 1935. It is estimated around 500 were made and then production was made by Ecko with the secret "S" code like Lugers with the "G" code made in 1935. The serial number series continued with the "S" gun and through production of the Ecko series ending with 33,000 or so guns made.
Both series were short lived with 6 examples of the Sander gun on record and very few of the "S" dated Ecko.
ENJOY!
Mark
