LP42 Flare Pistol

[meyle77]

Here is my new addition - LP42 - worn out finish but still looks good to me.

Anybody got some spent shells ? :-)))

and strap for the holster and the ammo pouch in leather, and ersatz leather and webbing and and and and ..... hahaha

This hobby never ends

btw, nice LP42, these were not always carried in holster but also loose with a catching strap (is that the correct word?)

Thanks for crushing my dreams :-)

I have seen the lanyard or carrying strap.

I will probably use breadbag strap for that frontline look.

you're welcome

No, just be patient, things will show up from time to time.....

Hi Meyle77,
I have the same flare pistol which came in the holster with lanyard. I believe the holster and lanyard to be original although I have not seen any others to compare them with. Hope the pictures are clear enough for you to see.
All the best from Jersey,

Thanks !
I have seen the photos of the canvas pouch and strap on the flare gun site - great stuff.

Quick question - was the lp42 supplied to german allies as well ? I am pretty sure it was.
Also, what other countries used it post-war ? I know of israel and czechoslovakia.

Thanks
