Meanwhile in Switzerland....

Fake Maglite.

I love that they knocked off the late '80s logo and packaging style. Never go halfass with trademark infringement. From what I can find these are still sold new in some form in Europe.

I spotted a case for sale of them.

Knurleld?

I'm sure the owner of Maglite has already had the paperwork filed for yet another lawsuit.

Quick to the lawsuitmobile Robin!

Hi letschat7 from Switzerland, guess you are in Holiday her.
But what is funny you still can by the real thing with the 12 Lumen at some online retailer. Found one her.

I'm in West Virginia, USA I just do a bunch of research in Russia, Israel, Japan, HK, all over Europe, and USA.

Typically I will do image searches for old obscure flashlights. If I find a hit I'll look around on a website for other stuff. In the olden days I would use Tor Browser and pay attention to the nodes now I can switch country preference in my browser. I may even search using words like akku, torch, taschenlampe, zaklamp, etc.

I could only wish I was in Switzerland. I found some old Pilas and Surefires for sale. The prices are the opposite of what they would be in USA.

I'm soon to be in Holiday with Pesach coming up.
