Gents:
The past two weekends were a portent of Spring at my local swapmeet (although the next two do not appear promising due to weather). Attendance was the best since the New Year began. As I was looking around, found the pictured German WW2, Luftwaffe double-barreled flare pistol pictured below. Spoke to the seller whom provided his (non-negotiable) asking price. Having taken note of what typical single-barrel Heer examples have either been listed or sold for recently, felt the asking price was quite reasonable. Unlike some later produced types, this Dopple Schuss has all the "whistles & bells" one likes to see in a German flare gun. Condition is very nice, clear manufacturer marking | date (1941) | Luftzugampt 2 acceptance marking, brass levers, etc. and nice reddish colored grips. Though I was not particularly looking to acquire such a example, could not walk away from it either...
