Dear all,
I apologise for writing to you in English. You can reply in German to me, because I can read German.
I am an army officer from the Netherlands. Petromax suggested me to contact you for my question.
For a long time already I am looking for a specific product, that is from Swiss origine.

From what I understood, it is a lantern issued to everybody in the Swiss army between about 1920 and 1955, so there should be thousends of them. Unfortunately, outside Switserland they are hard to find. The Swiss army surplus shop unfortunately does not want to ship or reserve items.
As producers Petromax en Hoffmann, Thun and Stöckli Metall AG are mentioned, that's why I write to you now. The windows of the lantern are made of mica, not glass.
Can you help to find me one (or two, three...
) of these lanterns? I would appreciate any help you can give me. It would be a nice asset to take to missions or for camping.
