[BrunoH]

Hi all,

Just to share with you some new items recently found:

An Alarmleuchtzeichen in its box:



And a nice Kriegsmarine zinc flare cartridges box (unfortunately empty )



Hope you'll appreciate. By the way, any other pictures of similar (or different) KM flares boxes would be appreciated...

Regards and happy collecting

Hello Bruno,

Fantastic box zinc box you have. I never saw one before, but obviously real.

Great find - Now you have to find 10 mint flares of the same manufacture to fill the box !

I also have an Alarmleuchtzeichen but not in the box.

Good Collecting, signalman

I'll prefer to let it empty or I'll become crazy !!
Thanks for the comment.

Hi Jens,

Hi Bruno,

it´s told that bkwz is not a typical war-code, but maybe the shortening for the manufacturer "Blech- und Kunststoffwerke Zirndorf", but this can´t be confirmed, because there is not document known about this shortening. It can be found also on late war iron cased parachute signal flares.
