Re: Leuchtpistole L "Fliegerleuchtpistole"
Is there any information (or estimates) on the numbers produced by each manufacturer? Are certain makers more common or scarce than others?
Re: Leuchtpistole L "Fliegerleuchtpistole"
According to Dr. Lorenz's book,
Emil Eckold ~ 32,500
August Menz ~ 4500
Gustav Bittner ~ 15,000
Heinrich Krieghoff ~ 37,700
Others without markings ~ 1,000
postwar Hugo Eckold ~ 500
Some makers marks are very difficult to find. I am still looking for " H.K " marked Kreighoff.
Sander marked model L's are quite difficult to find.

Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.
