No idea, the dude said he was lucky enough to find one in Japan ? Not an antique, I give up. I thought $50 for my head light was out of line, all in your perspective.

Glad you added Nut instead of expert.

Yep, that was him!  Wonder what happened to him?  All of his posts are gone too?

Certainly did not mean it in a negative in anyway.  He was a wealth of information and had some awesome lights!!

yeah he had a very informative thread going on. it was a few pages long and nothing but his own flashlight knowledge.

I said "nut" in a facetious way. He had alot of info and did lots of testing from what I recall.

yeah he had that mount set up in his yard at 50 ft so he could show the difference in brightness between lights.  the light i first posted better shoot it and skin it for that price.
