1938 German LP34 Flare Pistol – S/237 (ERMA) – Waffenamt Marked – Early WWII Production

Offered here is an original German Leuchtpistole 34 (LP34) flare pistol manufactured in 1938 by ERMA (coded “S/237”).

The LP34 was the standard German signal pistol of the Second World War and saw service with all branches of the Wehrmacht. This example is dated 1938, representing early pre-war production prior to Germany’s transition to letter-coded manufacturer markings.

Markings:

• Manufacturer Code: S/237 (ERMA)
• Date: 1938
• Multiple Waffenamt inspection eagles
• Serial numbered
• Original configuration

The pistol retains its correct military finish and displays honest service wear consistent with age and use. Waffenamt inspection stamps remain visible, and the pistol retains its original military character.

Early dated, pre-1940 coded LP34 flare pistols are increasingly sought after by collectors of German WWII militaria.

A strong representative example of a standard Wehrmacht signal pistol from the early years of the Third Reich.
