German flame thrower

[Langemark]

I'm curious about that coiled part- do you know what its function is? Matt

Matt, what “coiled part” are you exactly referring to ?

… anyway, I’ll keep you in mind.

Thanks, Mark. I will be right here.

Flamethrowers

I am very interested in restoring any WWII German Flamethrower for live firing. I have restored dozens of US and one Japanese. If you have any for sale or want to have me restore one, email or respond to this thread. I am the capt who started the Knob Creek flamethrowers and David Michaels now capably keeps it live. Take a look at my most recent restoration at subgun.com. Hope I can help some of you.

Charles,

I am interested in seeing your restoration, but I seem to have trouble with the site you mention.

I use www.subgun.com or http://subgun.com , but no matter wich link I click, I just get the same page over and over again, and it has nothing to do with the link I clicked.

Can you help? Or maybe post the exact link to use?

I would like to fire any German Flamethrower

Gentlemen,
I acquired the Japanese flamethrower that was discussed here years ago. The wand is in the box and the tanks were not. Many parts were missing, but I had them made at a precission machine shop. It fires and is great fun, but not the power of the American ones.
I would now like to restore and fire a German WWII, does anyone have one?

Peacmillion,
For some reason I can't post a photo to his site, don't know why. My subgun ad is under "flamethrower" in the misc section. I could forward photos but don't have a clue how? Can we legally give out our emails? I will be on line for a few minutes more.

Charles, thanks for the effort to make the pictures accessible. I clicked your latest link and it seems I am unauthorised to view it. At least thats what it sais .

The reason you cant post pictures here is that you have to make a yearly deposit to be able to post pictures.

you could always upload them on photobucket, or imageshack, and then post the links here.

Regards,

Stijn

Gentlemen, sorry for troubling your very interesting historical discussion, but as requested by Greg (and sorry for the delay !) here are some closer shots of the FW41.

Firstly, the upper ‘Stickstoff’ container.

Could you post a few images of the other side/frame work and the attachments of the straps etc.

F41 Flamethrower

There will be a F41 on Spike TV "Deadliest Warriors" burning a grass hut. They will also be firing lots of firearms, with thermal imaging and high speed cameras. I would gladly send or post a photo if someone can tell me how.
