German flashlights

[agv44]

Hello! Bought this little collection of flashlights today. Looks like most of them are German, but is there a way to tell from which era they are from? I appreciate if anyone can help me. Best regards Arvid

Quite an impressive array of flashlights you have there!

This is what a wartime German one looks like. The 'three lightning bolts' logo was used on pre-WWII and wartime lamps, and is a good sign that what you have is of that vintage. Military ones also typically have switches for red and green lens covers, used for signalling or dimming of the light in combat conditions.



I'm afraid I can't be of any help for identifying any of yours, but it's a nice little collection of vintage lamps.
