I think it is not complete. There is a long barrel missing, in which the rocket was launched. Nevertheless, quite interesting!

leinenpistole

very nice indeed, but this piece is a Wehrmacht issue because it is WaA stamped and not KM stamped, but they are exactly the same pistols, different barrel sizes exiost, depending of the distance to cross and thus the size of the rocket

I was thinking since the line pistol only is WaA marked and not KM,cut it by
any chance had been used by the Mountain Troops.
