Just scored this awesome looking Russian pocket torch on ebay, just had to have it for the modest sum of £9.
Does anyone recognise this type of torch?
There are several other photos on the listing...

I'm particularly interested in what kind of battery this would have used, and what year it might have been manufactured (I'm wondering if it's 1960s vintage).
Stamped into the front is the presumably Russian word "СВЕТАИНА" (phonetically: "svetaina") which means "Light" in english.
I'm planning to refurbish it a little and put a large lithium battery in there and run a warm tint LED at a low power level for maximum duration as an ambient room light / night light.
