If anyone is still after a torch for Die Glocke then there is some here-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GERMAN-ARMY-GREATCOAT-TORCH-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ160315383721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Collectables_Militaria_LE?hash=item160315383721&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

May not be 100% correct but they're cheap enough and the buy it now stops us from bidding against each other. :slap:

Well I'm glad I bid-up to £22 for mine.... :evil:

(to be fair I didn't read the listing properly and thought it was a 'rig'nal)

Sabre do black german military torches for a fiver.

They have that flip up hooded shield over the lens and green and red filters.

I assume they are east german.

Still reckon your better off with a captured Allied right angle torch ! Bright , robust, period, & can be put down and directed

Got mine this morning. He's not kidding about them being new, mine was still hermetically sealed in foil. I wondered what the hell it was at first. It takes 2 D batteries and seems to work pretty well. :good:

Took me a bit of time to get mine working as well. Half an hour attacking all the contact points with a bit of wet&dry sorted it out tho.
