EXTREMELY Rare Lights... Let's See Them!

Spectacular! Looks like a PhotonFanatic light, but what is the material? Timascus?

WOW Original Copy, absolutely stunning, that is flashlight jewelry

 

[Original_Copy]

Thanks all.

Jonwkng is correct. It is a two tone Mokume Gane that has been heat treated to where the copper turned grey and the nickel turned gold. Fred at Photon Fanatic did an awesome job. I'm still trying to figure out what color trits to drop in it.

 

[Str8stroke]

That is very nice. Trit colors can be so hard to choose. Not to mention, you have one of those lights that probably looks totally different in person. Pictures likely don't do it justice, and it looks awesome in the pictures, I can't imagine in person!

By looking at the pics, I might choose a yellow or a orange, maybe a yellow and white mix? Or go rad, Purple & green mix!

I would be proud to own that light sir.

Speaking of Fred's mokume gane, my one custom etched MG light in CR2 format, shown with some of my Damascus. The big one is a Mr. Bulk Damascus chameleon recently acquired from mcbrat:

A rare Art Steigerwald "The Sphere" bronze light, sometimes called the "Captain Nemo" light in AA format:

I dig that "Captain Nemo" light! oo:

 

[magellan]

It's certainly a unique looking light. I've been told only a few were made.

+1, thats no flashlight, its a knuckle duster with a bulb :laughing:

:lolsign:

Ha-ha! You're right!

 

[Toohotruk]

LOL! Maybe that's one reason why I like it so much! :devil:

So does it work and the bigger question...is it easily mod-able?

 

[magellan]

It does work, using an AA size battery. As to whether it's modable, I don't think the electronics are potted, so unless there's some other reason I don't know of, I think it probably is.

Isn´t there just a dropin inside the Cap.Nemo? That´s how I remembered it but I might be wrong though.

[magellan]

I've never looked though so I can't be sure, but you're probably right. I'm traveling and away from home for a few weeks otherwise I'd go take a look.

Eric

It uses a modified Malkoff drop-in - I suspect due to fitment. One can probably coax another to fit with the right mechanical persuasion.

 

[Toohotruk]

So with the Malkoff, it is very usable then I imagine?

 

[magellan]

Well, it's basically a shelf queen due to its rarity. Once in a great while I'll put in an AA and turn it on briefly, maybe once a year, but usually I just handle and admire it a bit and then put it away. Some months ago I photographed it with the rest of my bronze and brass light collection.

Magellan- I agonized over that Capt. Nemo when they were up for sale. Definitely a Malkoff, definitely a very unique light!!! Dibs, please...
