A Franz Stock Clinometer

Good morning.

have collected Clinometers for a while now and I thought that I'd share an "ID'd " one manufactured by Franz Stock. This was an interesting company and is mainly known as a manufacturer of pistols. Here is an article on their weapons:

And here is one on the later years of the company:
Franz Stock later years

The clinometer is made of aluminum and is very finely made.

Finally, an inscription on it's wooden box. I read "FLS/24". Short for ... what? Ideas?
