Hi
Pertrix 1936

Leningrad 1942 Hospital.
Flashlight КЭФ-1 "Elektrotekhpribor" Factory

World battery, Nederlands merk, zegt dit iemand iets? Vooroorlogs?

Hi All - I have just purchased a WW2 Daimon Teklo Trio flashlight and need some guidance please.

The top left silver button turns the lamp on and off.
How do I lock the lamp on ?
Is there a lock mechanism ?
What does the top right button do ?
What does the middle top slider do ?

Please guide me and send some photos of the locking mechanism.

Cheers

Another photo showing on switch but no locking system that I can see.

Any comments ?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Congratulations, beautiful flashlight!
The distance between the disks should be reduced. (If the gap is small you can increase the distance between the plates.)
The flashlight will remain on.
The slider prevents unwanted switch-on.

Fero

Thanks Fero - the end of the left silver button as arrow shaped with a notch recess behind the 'arrow head' - are the plates meant to click into that ?
I will take a pic ?

Cheers
Andrew

Fixed it everyone ! Had to widen the plates a bit to allow the 'on' plunger to come down further and engage.
Excellent and truely excellent forum. '

What is the model number and year of manufacture of my Daimon Teklo Trio and was it a wermacht issue ?

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Good job!
This manufactured since 1936 Daimon Telko flashlight.
Type number: 2218
Of course, the Wehrmacht also used one.

Regards,
Fero

Hi
perhaps Type number is 2213?

Hi Dima,

Hi Fero,
May be numbers differ due different markets or to make it easier for customer to avoid ordering wrong flashlight.
I got two proofs from finnish and czech catalogues with numbers 2213 and your pic is from german one.

Hi Dima,
Such a difference also occurs at Pertrix.
German catalogs show this type number.

Hi,
Daimon 2233 Versions. It was a widespread type in the German army.
