Sternsignalpistole Mod. "SLd", Marine? At least a double-barreled flare gun very much like the one above is listed under that name in an auction at http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion ... at49_S.txt

Well, you are very close, it is a Kriegsmarine flare gun mod. SLd, but there were some variations. The one in my picture is probably the finest of them. Clue: "Nirosta".

That's correct. Made by Walther. Your turn.

It is the Madsen,
But a belt-fed version for the Luftwaffe: the Erd- und Fla-Maschinengewehr Madsen. Photo from "Waffen-Revue" No.35.
Over to Norway,

Someone else can post the next question, please.

I thought it was a Wurfkörper 361 LP, but your answer is good enough for me. Your turn. :)

Thanks G:son,
You´re right of course; the WK 326 was much smaller than the egghead 361.
In the same vein what is this multi-barreled contraption shown being loaded with a WK 361 LP?

Hint 1
As with the Sturmpistole the development of this Sturm****** stemmed from the inaccuracy of the Kampfpistole.

It is definitely not a Stumgewehr, so I´ll go with Sturmbüchse. :)
