There was a company called Georg Egestorff, based in Linden, Germany. Sorry I have no more information.

Hi kilsdonk,
this is a german signal case from pre WWI (1894 - 1915). Produced by Georg Egestorff / Linden (Hanover). Later known as HANOMAG. The production from ammunition was in WWII "P120" or "emp".
best regards

How many different makers of these flare cases were there? My one example has D.W.u.M.at the top,the flowery logo thingies either side,and K
at the bottom.

There are a few of manufacturers. AWS = Artilleriewerkstatt Spandau /
E&G = Ehrich & Grtz, Berlin / D.W.u.M. K = Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken Karlsruhe / HW = Hermann Weiffenbach, Mnchen / UTTENDOERFFER NRNBERG / GE = Georg Egestorff, Linden / Zndhtchen und Patronenfabrik Schnebeck - Elbe / R.W.S. Nrnberg / and last but not least a trade mark shows three cells of a honeycomb = Allgemeine Electricitts - Gesellschaft, Berlin.

Austrian possibly

For what it is worth, I have seen that hallmark on Austrian ammo (11mm 1887 dated) headstamps...Dano

Thanks, I have had the one with the three honeycomb cells for years. I bought it for 1 at a car boot sale when I was 13. I knew it was German but never knew where it was made.
