Issued to the Kriegsmarine, with alloy material used in place of stainless steel, which freed up the steel for other essential purposes and reduced the weight of the flare pistol. The left side of the frame is marked "eagle/N/eeu/6008", "43" and "eagle/swastika/M III/3" ahead of the safety switch labeled "SICHER" and "FEUER". Chambers are marked "4/eagle/N", with spring-loaded chamber indicator pins. Fitted with a smooth walnut forearm and checkered walnut grips.

Fine, with 80% of the anodized finish, with bright edges, scattered scratches and dings. The steel components have been polished bright overall, and the selector switch and left side switch stop pin are absent. Furniture is good, with mild dings and scuffs.
