Hi all,
I originaly posted this in the general Wehrmacht equipment forum but didnt really get anywhere. So I am trying again on here.
I have this lantern that looks like a Luftwaffe one but is a lot smaller.
It is only 22cm high instead of the standard 26cm.
It is made from steel instead of aluminium.
It has no markings on it at all.
Both lanterns are identical except for the size, so is my one a late war economy lantern? Or a post war knock off?
To answer this can people who have full size Luftwaffe lanterns tell me, what is the latest date they can find. Maybe there was a cut off date for the full size ones before they made the smaller ones.
I need a answer people because it is driving me a little bit mad.
