The Leuchtpistole 42 is of all steel construction, uses 26.5 mm flares, and was available in zinc or black painted finish. It superseded the previous LP34, which was made of aluminum, and took longer to make than the stamped steel body of the LP42. This example bears original German maker code \u003cstrong\u003ewa\u003c\/strong\u003e, which stands for \u003cstrong\u003eHASAG-Eisen- \u0026amp; Metallwerke GmbH\u003c\/strong\u003e, previously known as Hugo Schneider AG, Abteilung Lampenfabrik, Leipzig. Below this is it stamped with serial number \u003cstrong\u003e56035\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is nicely Waffenamt \u003cstrong\u003eWaA410\u003c\/strong\u003e marked on the left side of the breech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompletely Original German WWII manufacture in very good complete condition with lovely brown \/ red bakelite ribbed grip panels. The pistol is very clean, looks to have been blued post war, which is still retained. There are no other import markings such as from the UK or Israel, unlike most we have seen recently. The pistol breaks open correctly with ejection, has an intact firing pin, and dry fires. It also has the \"loaded\" indicator on the rear of the breech. This really is a prime example!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pistols used to be plentiful on the market, however with all known stocks being exhausted, they are now very hard to come by. Ready to display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39977151725637,"sku":"ONSV21WS124","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONSV21WS124__06.jpg?v=1648856642","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-leuchtpistole-42-signal-flare-pistol-by-hasag-with-blued-finish-serial-56035","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
