I have 2 bring home lamps from a friends Fathers time in the ETO. His Father was Airborne, but I'd have to ask about unit.
Anyway he passed a locker on to me that has many items I'll have to research.

For now, with no pictures available yet I have 2 Feuer Hand Oil lamps.
Both marked made in Germanyicon.
The taller one is a N0 176, the smaller one is a No 75 with red globe called a Atom. This small one has a back plate on it that is original to it. On the back plate is a metal catch that looks like it could/would slip over a belt or something similar.
Both same color... a darker olive green

Until pictures: This auction picture is the big one I have. The 176, same shape/style though mine has no glass globe:

Anyone familiar with these ?
Searching for a source of information/link

Had a Colon O rooter job today. Will get pictures and measurements in a day or two.

Thx All
