Cross Light Lens
Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2010 in Photography
Who knows about antique WW1 flashlights?
I have an old i think swiss (it has a cross on it and i got it in switzerland) Flashlight. It has a round lens with a flip up lens cover. The cover is made to shine directly to the ground when closed so you can see at night and not be seen hundreds of yards away. It has two bulbs which are not blown. It has a switch on top where you can switch it on and off, plus if you set it in the middle its made where you can press down to turn the light on and release to turn off. I have had this for years in my box of old "junk".
Anyone with knowledge of this light please let me know. If you email me i will try to take pics of it. I know its very old because I got it from a man in switzerland who said someone in his family used it in ww1. He gave it to me because I am a soldier in the US Army and was trying to ask about it.
Please help, i would like to know more about this light and what it might be worth.
Thanks
you can pick them up in almost any surplus store for about 5 to 10 dollars. sorry to burst your bubble but keep looking i could be wrong
