Late war simplified LP34 and LP42 cleaning rod marked GL 43

Rare late war cleaning rod for the model 34 and model 42 flare gun. The rod is a rare late war simplified example which is simply folded into shape and it features a zinc end piece. There is no leather strap and buckle but we never encountered them on these simplified examples so they were probably issued as is. This example is nicely marked GL 43 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in 1943. Rare late war simplified example which would be extremely hard to upgrade!
