Restoring a 1936 WW2 German Flare Gun | Leuchtpistole 34

In this video I'm restoring a legendary and recognizable German flare gun - Leuchtpistole 34. Although it has seen some humidity in an old garage, it is still in relatively good condition and worth restoring. The Leuchtpistole 34 or flare gun in English was introduced into German service before World War II and served throughout World War II. The Leuchtpistole 34 was a single shot, break action, smoothbore, flare gun designed and produced by Walther that was a successor to the earlier Leuchtpistole 26. The Leuchtpistole 26 was of steel construction, was blued to stop corrosion, and had dyed oak pistol grips. While the Leuchtpistole 34's frame was machined from duralumin, the barrel was machined from steel, was blued to stop corrosion, and had bakelite pistol grips. Due to the use of light alloys, the Leuchtpistole 34 was lighter than its predecessor and the trigger guard was enlarged so the user could fire the gun in cold weather while wearing gloves.
