    Then I made some researches and found this one quite similar to it

    It is almost the same but this has the "ennwell" brand sign on it so I looked for other ennwell flashlights but they are all like this one

    Someone will be around shortly. Not my area so I can't help. But I do have a couple of books that might have an example. Let me check

    Edit: Just looked. No matches unfortunately.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Hello.
    Neither the colored lenses buttons, the switch nor the paint color look like german WW2 known examples, sorry.
    It's probably post-war, maybe for an unknown ( to me at least ) central / eastern Europe country ?

    At least the round-shaped lenses buttons and the specific 3 rivets construction of the carrying strap base seem derived from russian flashlights :

    Original RKKA WW2 flashlight?

    Let' s not forget the fact that the small metal reinforcement in the upper part of the leather strap can be seen on polish flashlights : Webbingbabel: Polish Army Signal Flashlight - Latarka Sygnałowa Polskiej Armii

    Hello, I believe it is wehrmacht flaschlight- it might be a copy of ZEILER No. 4640 produced by other maker, or ZEILER flaschlight, but unmarked. I own the same one and look how similar it is to No. 4640:
