Sendler Lampe

And now something absolutely amazing... This is a WW2 german "Sendler Lampe" near in mint condition. They are used firstly in the first world war, but it's the later, WW2 version. This is a very rare flashlight, even if it does occur, it is most often in incomplete, poor condition.

This is not only a flashlight, it's a flashlight with notebook, and pencil. You can write a note at night, in the dark. If you don't turn up the lid, only the note get the light! It's has morse function, and if you turn up a lid you can use as a simple flashlight.

The pencil was made of red celluloid, it's an early species of plastic, the same material used in the movie rolls. It's a fountain pencil, with chargable graphite rods. When you rotate the top, the graphite tip comes out. Thin and light, pleasent to write with it.
