    Dears,
    Just spotted in the Internet that unusually marked (at least for me) top of the Bundeswehr Petromax 829.
    Altea 02.1960 on the metal box.
    Lamp has regular shiny, not matted finish.
    BENZINLATERNE ;)

    Best Regards,
    Piotrek

    OK, so I was informed that ZB stands for Zivil Bund - civil defence, or something like that.
    Now I know :oops:

    "ZB" stands for "Ziviler Bevölkerungsschutz" which means "Civil Defense".
    It is not Bundeswehr, it is from the German Civil Defense.
    "BUND": In Germany, the federal level (also known as "Bund") is the highest level in the hierarchy of the state model of the federal state. ...
    state property, so to speak
    Regards - Steven
