The Heer model

From 1940, when the war has lasted a year, the signal gun "Heer" 1934 is changed to the "Heer" type war.
This differs in some details such as a ridge of hammer closer, a load indicator to see if the weapon is loaded or not, the grip plate and a thinner butt ring different.

This view allows you to compare the difference between the hammer on the model 34 (left) and Heer model (right).

We can see the loading indicator on the right Heer model (model 34 left).

The fact of introducing a cartridge in the gun flag causes lift pin, which, even in darkness, to determine that the gun is loaded.

In 1943, the "Heer" type war undergoes a slight change in the lever opening is made in sheet metal stamping.
