L Shaped flashlight.
 

Hey all.
Don't have sufficient time to look this up, but I'll be back at home tonight to see if there are replys / do my OWN homework on this but...

While preparing my stuff and cleaning to move, I found one of those L shaped flashlights. I hope you know what I mean... Did the 101st have them?

Again, no time to look this up on my own, nor do I know the proper name for the light itself... but I spray painted it OD just in case it WAS used.

Thanks.
Billy.

Those L shaped flashlights are issued to everyone. They are junk, go out an buy a real flashlight like a sure fire unless its for your WWII kit

Yep they had these, but the WW2 pattern is much more different than the modern ones

this is my flashlight my friend gave to me, after I tried to open the battery compartment.

cheap one...I had one of these, the issued ones are much more thougher!

Hmmph.

I have one, but doubt it's WW2. No, I wouldn't buy a surefire as they werent to my knowledge used in WW2, thus, I posted in the WW2 section.

Yea.. apparently I failed to notice what section this was posted in lol

This is what you are after Billy.
