Army flak FFL????

[Patrick W]

Just got this in as part of the same group which contained the obscenely rare semi hollow Hobacher flak I have posted in the Luft forum.
This is an absolute new one on me. The badge is very nicely detailed and finished. The finish appears to be bronze, silver over the top, and then grey on top of that to pick out the detail.
The design is very close to the S&L but the eagles head is slightly different and also the secion at the side of the breech block is missing.
The catch is absolutley FLL and on a small round plate just like on their flight clasps.
Is this a known variant? anyone else have one?

Well you son of a gun! That is one we have been tossing about as either a Brehmer or a Meybauer. LOVE that catch on it!

Is that gray paint on the reverse???

[Patrick W]

Thanks for confirming its a good one Marc- thats not paint the finish is in reality much much darker- the flash distorts it- truest colour is as in last pic posted
