Several years ago we found from ruins of a German WW2 field workshop some of these flare booby trap devices in burned relic condition. I started to restore one but then forgot it for years until it popped up in one of my junk boxes today again.
It has a simple base with short "barrel" having a bayonet lug attachment. Firing pin system is made from a Russian MUV-fuze ( dated 1941 ) by cutting it shorter and soldering it on the base.
Naturally the flare cartridge shown is only a fired empty case.
