Greetings Gents! I am looking for batteries for the German WWII style flashlight, one that is period style marked would be perfect!
Do any of you reenactors have a line on a supplier for these?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Kevin
http://www.svmilitaria.com/GermanWWIIEquipment.htm

Its a bit uumm expensive but they are not that easy to find. If you looking for something for gigs our dudes make something up and wrap it in cardboard they are of course a euro bat and not generally available here. My sis sends them over, when she can find them.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Hoss! Anyone else have a lead on these, preferably new working with period looking script?
I gave my son a light and he wants it operable...

Perfect Jeff, Thank You! I ordered one of each lable type, I figure I may as well make one of my lights useable also!

Update... Batteries showed up and are great for using your 60 year old flashlight, look decent when in a light but are not made to fool.
a wise $5 spent as my youngest Boy have been using His flashlight constantly!
