LP34 DUV42 10 gauge

[dennischristiaan]

Is there anyone who can tell me where the message "10gauge" comes from?

This signal pistol has been offered to me, but I would like to know the story about it.

Does it also have any collective value? It looks like the flaregun has black paint.

I can say with assurance no marks like that were done by the Germans. Are there any other proofs or markings on the FP?

The pistol has been painted, and marked 10 ga. post war. Does the pistol have a liner, changing it from 4 ga. to 10 ga. ? ?

in my eyes post-war usage by another army. I have seen and know a Walther steel that is marked and was used by the english army post-war. I think this one will be english or US used as well. I do not think this was Commercial.

This is the last picture he sent me.

But didnt told me anything about the size.

[bergler]

the chamber is definately altered. What caliber (in mm) would be 10 gauge?

[signalman]

It looks like it had a liner, which has now been removed. I wonder if the pistol still has the extractor ? ?

[dennischristiaan]

10 gauge, are shot gun shells.

Hope to hear soon about the extractor.
