Very nice! I am pretty sure you know this, but the small metal prongs to the left of the lightbulb, is a holder for a spare bulb. Keep up the great work!
Belle pièce ! impressionnant qu'elle fonctionne encore, n'importe quel objet moderne n'arriverai qu'a la cheville de sa longévité ... En ce qui concerne la pile une Varta aurait été plus correct historiquement non?
Recently i've been interested in historic esp military flashlight, from dynamo ones to such vintage ones. but no matter where i look i cant find answers to following questions: 1. what was the context of use? was it for operational use, for patrolling, or for lighting inside the tent? was it meant for special signalling and did common soldiers learn about it? in general, how dark WAS soldiering in those days? 2. when did the military become interested in flashlights, and what's the history of their uses by the militaries? 3. batteries and battery availability - were soldiers issues with batteries or did they buy them? how difficult were dry cell batteries to make? and most importantly, how long could a flashlight work on one such battery? These would be the questions i'd be very much interested in having answered!
Yes I have, and I think I might rig the flashlight better to hold the battery. But I want to stay close to the original so the LED might be too strong.
Купил на ebay, на повседневное пользование, но поменял лампочку на светодиод и аккумулятор, в руках чувствуется что это вещь! 👍
Интересно была бы посмотреть на такой.
Klasse dankeschön lieb von dir L.g.walter aus deutschland🎅
Dude, you're a legend.

Oui, ils ne les font pas comme d'habitude :) Mais oui, nous n'avons pas trouvé la bonne taille de batterie ici, donc ça devait être fait!

Yes just for everyday use for the solider in the field. And yes most of them could be used for signalling.
I serching this one or Trio ..very hard to buy in Poland
There are few of them on ebay, in different shapes!
What’s the precise way of putting in the battery for the light
The original battery was a bit taller then I am using here, so I would think just to put it in directly and the poles would touch the metal.
@@vintagemountaineeringandhi6060 thanks
Ever consider getting a LED for it?
Yes I have, and I think I might rig the flashlight better to hold the battery. But I want to stay close to the original so the LED might be too strong.
Dimensions?
