This flashlight was made in Germany, but I don't know if it was war time or after. Seems war camouflage style...
Brand "neuner made in germany".

If it says, "Made in Germany", it is not wartime.
Hi blunderbuss2, when I said wartime it's WW1 to WW2 period. Your statment it's not entirely true.

Looks like 1930's era to me :-)
I don't see it having camouflage just a design that screams 30's and also style .
Hi Manikin, maybe you right.
Thanks
FN Neuner produced several tinplate lithographed flashlights with various types of convex lens, the "camouflage" effect is the result of rusted tin mixed with the original Green + Silver litho. (made in the 1930´s)
