Description
Reasonably modern military flashlights marked MYDAY. The only reason I picked these up is because they are very much based on a WWII design, but with modern guts. Externally they look virtually identical to various WWII Wehrmacht flashlights, but they are a little thicker as they are made to operate on 2 D sized batteries. I have includedbulbs, but you will want to find a lower voltage bulb than what I carry as 2 D batteries only provide 3v not the 4.5v typical for older flashlights and the bulbs I have for them. The leather tabs on the back vary a bit from brown to black (no choice) and the green color varies a bit also but nothing extreme.BATTERIESNOTINCLUDED!These are basically deadstock, maybe 20-30 years old in practically new condition. I found some to be a little bit finicky to make work because the body has to make contact with the bulb through several contact points, bulb to reflector, reflector to backing plate, backing plate to front face, front face to hinge pin, hinge pin to body, body to switch. There is nothing wrong with these, but expect to do some contact cleaning.
