I picked up this flashlight hoping it was WWII Era (1939-1945) Any Ideas..

I know the Bayonet is WWII
The Ammo looks to be WWII
the cleaning Kit is marked 1943

But nothing on the Flashlight

Interesting items. Wardens Supply Co. list a Swedish Army flashlight (FlickLampa) that is similar if not exactly the same albeit without the Nazi paper sticker. This in definitely not my area of expertise. Regards. Tom

The cleaning kit looks to have been re-painted and a current decal added. Yes, the flashlight is WW2.

Hey! My first post the flashlight is definitely a swedish armed forces flashlight. The three crowns stamped just below the lens shows it's swedish. Back in -97 when i was in the swedish airforce we had a somewhat modernised version made out out of plastic but very similar to yours issued. They really sucked though and most of us used maglites or other personally bought lights instead.

The three crowns follows but I can't really see them. I've also seen them listed as Swiss. Thing is, I know myself if something works and you need it then it becomes part of your kit. Within reason...
