These flare pistols were manufactured from 1936 through the end of the war for the German Navy. Manufactured without sights, barrel tops marked "4/eagle", two position safety switch on the left side of the frame behind the serial number, "ac/41" date code and "eagle/swastika/M/III/3" markings and a selector switch on top with settings for left, right, and both barrels. A smooth forearm with hand stop is mounted to the barrels, with a pair of checkered grip panels. Included with the item is a custom wood display stand. Provenance: The Gateway Collection

Excellent, with light scratches overall. A small chip is absent from the right rear of the handguard, with some minor scuffs on the otherwise very fine wood. The loaded chamber indicators have been removed, otherwise mechanically excellent.
