Need help! Old german flare gun

Attachment 157601Attachment 157602Attachment 157601Attachment 157602

Hello everyone. Recently i have purchased this flare gun. In order to get it out of customs i need to get a license from the police. They want to know some specs of this pistol but i have not idea what is the year or model. The only things i know is the note of the seller. I’m pasting it as it was written:

”One side is marked only with "1001, the other side is marked with a bunch of stampings, there are 2 eagle stamps, a small crown looking stamp over a "U" an "s" inside a triangle, what looks like a makers mark "SUHL" underneath a person or statue, "22562", a very small triangle with some letters in it, and an "a" with small marks radiating around it.”
Does anyone know more about this gun or a website with information for German flare guns?
Thanks in advance.

Need help! Browning M2 tripod help!

I have recently aquired a 1919a4 browning and M2 tripod but after looking at various pics of tripods i am in need of some help, on my tripod is an angular piece of metal that is bolted to the flat plate, i have not come across this on any other tripod pics that i have seen. Is this a later addition? as i was hoping my m2 tripod was ww2 era, also on the tripod is a webbing strap which is attatched to the front leg with a leather tab, the end of the strap has a metal end which is far too new to be of ww2 vintage and i am very dubious of this. Can anyone help or offer any advice
