World record for Flashlight?

[Hoss]

Gents
I have a soft spot for trench torches. I tried to land this example I,ve never seen before and left a reasonable bid while I was at work. I lost me hook, line, reel and rod and got blown out the water
Did anyone on the forum win it or has one? winning bid $406! Chip, Adler, Chuck, William or anyone seen this pattern before?

Eric, that is a wee cracker of a torch/flashlight, i have never seen one like but for $406 i guess its a rare one that somebody really wanted badly

Cheers Scott.

for $406 is that D.R.P torch of Gold ??.... if so then I have said nothing

[Chip M]

I have seen this model before on the German Feldgrau forum. Surprisingly, companies made various models of these lights well into the 1930s. Many gray models were actually only made after the war. The Pertrix company that you see so many patterns of lights from, was only started after the war. Hassia is another one in many collections that was never made before 1919.

But $406!? There must have been two lunatics bidding.

Pertrix – Hassia - Daimon made many Army flashlight for the Nazi’s but pertrix - Daimon made after the war the almost same Army modell flashlight as War and that is the problem for many start collectors you see this every day on e-bay.

Thats some collection you got there.
My dynamo job still works!
I was thinking back to my old collection, I must of had at least twenty lights but now I realize 50% were probably post WW1. Very interesting info.
