I'd agree except this has a brass host. I own some of the ones fivemega gold plated, they are beautiful but still an aluminum host.
The 2AA "real gold" along with earlier maglites in general had a rolled bezel, not laser etched. This light does not have either.
Happy Hunting!
Very interesting! A while back I saw a sterling silver Solitaire on ebay in the UK. After a long back and forth with the seller I found out that it was a host actually made by a jeweler for a wealthy Maglite owner in the early 90s. IIRC they wanted around $300 USD for it and I didn't pop on it. I'm wondering if this is sort of the same thing. Either a talented machinist or an owner with a lot of money had a light custom made.
I LOVE Maglite mysteries. There aren't too many of them left but this I would say is one of them along with Merrimac's 4AA Mini Mag. I have some good contacts with a couple Mag employees from the early days and even they are missing some pieces here and there.

:wow: did you find these recently?
Very cool!! Where did you end up picking up the display from? Must have a pretty good story behind it!

This was boxed up as new since mid 1980's. I have owned since around 2006 and never got around to posting a photo of it.....It was never used so brand new in the box all these years.
Actually, your inquiry into my collection got me opening up the many many boxes of flashlights that have accumulated through the years....In the "true spirit of CPF" I was pretty addicted to the hunt....I've been on the wagon for a few years and need to try and steer clear of this site or risk my wallet demise.

Yeah. Mahogany with wenge inserts on the outside corners (not visible). They are very nice when cleaned up, hit with some polish, and shown in proper lighting.
If people are interested I could post dimensions.
