Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a gorgeous medium-sized German parachute marked Fallschirmgerät für Leuchtpatrone, which translates to “Parachute device for flare cartridge”. We haven’t been able to find a similar example, but the parachute camouflage material is exactly the same as would be on a Fallschirmjäger parachute. The parachute measures roughly 11 feet wide, which is far smaller than a Fallschirmjäger parachute, making it the perfect size for display!
The parachute is marked:
Fallschirmgerät für Leuchtpatrone
Gerät-Nr. 10-503B-1
Werk-Nr. 6271163
It has numerous panels in the same style as an FJ chute, and retains its rigging lines, which connect to a central loop, which has a camouflage cover on it. Based on the size, this is way too large to have been stored in any hand-held type of flare cartridge. We surmise it may be for some type of artillery flare, or maybe a flak flare, intended to light up the skies during an air raid.
This is the first example of this type we have offered, making it an extremely scarce variation of the iconic German Camouflage parachute. Comes ready for further research and display!
