I just picked one of these up at a Flea market, works great. It has the spare red lens in the extra screw-off at the bottom. It has no makers name, but has the TL-122 ID.

Hello Art and Sara, I have found more times than not that it is oxidation. Take the lense cover off and remove the reflector. Use some steel wool to scub the outside(not where the bulb shines). You may also have some oxidation on the copper parts that touch the back of the bulb and the outside of the reflector. The other place for oxidation is the base where the spring is. Also Sara, the flashlight had another compartment for spare different cover lenses I hope this helps! HD

I found a flashlight like this while cleaning an outbuilding. I think it belonged to my grandfather who was born in 1900. I cleaned it up and put in fresh batteries and a replacement bulb but I can't get it to work. Any ideas? Anyone know why the bottom part has a threaded compartment? Mine is missing.

I have this flashlight and am looking for repair tips. I put fresh batteries and a new bulb in it, no luck. Anybody know about the switch?

This is the 4th version of the flashlight used by us troops in WW2. The date is most likely 1944.See Olive drab.com for a complete history of the G.I flashlight.
