very nice flare gun! I have seen it before, but never in good condition. Details of this type are unknown, but it is believed that this type is of austrian or austrian empire origin. I like ;-)

Very interesting, nor have i seen one like this before.

It's hard to see that the latch lever style is an improvement in any way over the standard design and really IMO leaves a lot to be desired in utility terms for this arrangement......but I could be over looking something.

The maker i already saw, but it doesnt look like a austrian gun, any acceptance stamps there, possible small producer, b.r.Andy

here was already mentioned about, the maker could be polish, bulgarian or other? possibly for german army? when german notes on frame, more samples was found in Russia. but in dug out condition. b.r.Andy
The unit on frame when correct is not austrian, more real german.

I dont saw a JR stamp on austrian units, anyway normally is the 48 in front of the JR. b.r.Andy

It is Austro-Hungarian, I had two examples and sold one of them about 5 years ago. Still have the other.
