GERMAN Flare Gun??

[TP Alexander]

I don't see any waffenamts on this. Any idea if it is actually German or did Czechoslovakia or someone produce them on German machinery after the war?
Thanx,
Tim

No 3 letter code on the side like EUH or WA! These were made post war but most were black.

Thank you!!
