Hungarian M43 flare gun. I have the same with same stampings (M.V.), but there are other examples where there is only the serial number. If needed I look for the meaning of M.V.

Here is my hungarian 43M, whereby I have seen some others for sale around here. It seems that this is not a common find, but here we are at the border to Hungary so there is sometimes one for sale, but mostly in not good condition. Overall production numers were a bit over 5000, so the one shown here should be one of the last. It has the hungarian acceptance stamp as well.
The M.V. .......M is always behind the year, and V means Vilagitopisztoly which translate to "flare pistol". That is all I know and found.
