    Hello
    I bought this unusede FL6 a few years ago. It comes from a Civil Defence stock, and the housing is galvanized. I haven´t seen this version before, and I´m told that they were special made for the Danish Civil Defence (CF) though there is no "CF" markings anywhere on the lamp. At the underside of the fueltank it says "Made in England" and 1 670. I´m not sure if that´s a date stamp. The lamp came with a nice tripod and a servicekit box.
    Can anyone tell me more about this model.
    Regards Niels Chr.

    must be a late one, pop rivets instead of 'real' ones,and the same handle for both the pump and the back of the housing...

    Well I'd say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and preserve the originality into the bargain...

    Hi
    Thank´s for the comments, my first thoght was that it´s a late production too, but I can´t decipher the number at the underside of the fueltank, 1 (space) 670. By the way i have no intention of making changes to the lamp, but I have considered to use it since it´s galvanized and then restore a much older FL6 I have and put it on the tripod for exhibition/admiration :mrgreen:
