I recently acquired one of these on eBay, and while looking very nice, it doesn't work. I would like to know if there are supposed to be metal contact strips inside this light like there are on the majority of fiber and vulcanite-bodied flashlights; namely, the strips that run from the end cap retaining ring to the switch, and then from the other side of the switch to the base of the reflector/bulb holder. This flashlight doesn't have them on the inside, but there is nothing to suggest that they aren't formed right inside the casing, since the rivets on both the upper and lower retaining rings are tight and do not appear to have had a metal strip pulled from them. However, the rivets on the switch itself are loose, and a view inside the tube shows that there are three small "gouges" in the fiber case, two where the switch rivets attach and one between them. If anyone has any ideas or knows more about this light, please let me know. Thanks, Tom M.
