![]() ![]() ![]() (The large oil tank still have som thick smelly oil in it) The rare original carrying frame was found here in Norway just a few months ago, on a Norwegian military depot. The tanks also was found in Germany some years ago, and restored. ![]() The Strahlöhr with the fireing mechanism was found in a well in Berlin under some construction work in 1978 (and is in remarkable good condition, and all parts seem to function as they should). (pictured below)Īnyway, My FmW 41 has been put together by parts that I have found in both Germany and Norway. I have actually been given a live original blank cartridge, from a fellow Norwegian collector. The second model Strahlröhr wich came in 1942 (the model I have) has a very complex mechanism for fireing 9mm blank cartridges to ignite the oil, when the handle is pulled. The difference between these two models is that the "strahlröhr" on the first model had a small hydrogen tank fitted, witch provides hydrogen gas for a small pilot flame for igniting the oil mixture from the main tank. (Dimas has previously posted a thread with some very nice pictures of the first model of this weapon in this forum section) This is the second model of the Flammenwerfer 41. I thought I'd post some pictures for the forum, of my newest weapon related project. ![]()
