Original olive-green Pertrix military flashlights, supplied in their original Dutch military storage packaging. A classic metal-bodied lamp with sliding colour filters and a manual Morse signalling button.
This model and its matching stock number appear in a Dutch military document catalogued from 1962, giving the design a history stretching well before the 1990s. These examples survived in storage, complete with their Dutch-labelled packaging.
Two sliders on the front move red or green filters into the beam. With the filters lowered, the lamp provides ordinary illumination; raise either filter to change the light colour.
The momentary signalling button allows short and long flashes for manual Morse code. Whether you’re signalling something useful or requesting coffee from the other side of the warehouse depends entirely on your command of the alphabet.
A distinctive piece for a military equipment collection, period display or anyone who appreciates mechanical switches and a proper metal casing.
Price is for one flashlight in its original storage packaging.
