Solid, strong and heavy. The material seems thicker than Kel-Lite / much thicker than Maglite.
As a 1-D cell light, simply insert a 3AA serial battery holder to make it a 3-cell light.

So with that much mass, it could be powered by a 32650 and left at 1000+ lumens for ~4 hours without heat issues..

Please see my above edit and the second paragraph in the first link has a bit about the company.

True Grit was a Kel-Lite knock off who used some LA Screw ideas for modular barrels.
Right rare these days.
They were forced to stop producing flashlights...not by LA Screw or Kel-Lite.. but by the Duke who had trademarked the name.
Good score.

Now I like that! A 1D would be cool.

That would be an interesting bulb to produce 1000+ lumens on 3.7v. Yet somehow very low current 😁
2 3aa to d and a ROP low?
or if enough i.d 4aa-d?
iirc the one i saw had metal reflector and bakelite retainer.
i dont know if the retainer could take a ROP hi.
glass window mandatory.
on a rare bird like this i would be very careful.
