W.W.II German Flashlights:
Original WWII era "Petrix" brand flashlights. The are at
least a couple dozen varieties of military flashlights. This is one
of them. They are all the style pictured: field gray in color, red and
blue filters, top switch and leather tab to affix the light to your
shoulderboard or pocket button. Some are Waffenamted inside, but we
suspect this was done after the war by a vendor to in an attempt to
increase the value.
Collector Nightmare Note: All are stamped "Made in Germany"
under the "Petrix" logo. That indicates production before
1946. Items made after the War were stamped "Made in W. (or "West")
Germany".
Condition: All are in unissued condition. However, most have some
dirt, very slight corrosion, perhaps a ding or maybe (horrors!) a chip
in the paint. All are complete and should work. However, this may require
some minor work, such as cleaning contacts or adjusting them to fit the
battery firmly. If bending a brass tab with your finger or wiping off
the contacts sounds difficult, don't buy one of these! You might strain
yourself.
