  • Condition: There are scuff marks and scratches on the orange battery compartment. The initials "DWC" are lightly engraved on the top of the battery compartment. Half of the rubber sheath over the carrying handle is missing. There are partially worn-off stickers on the front and back of the battery cover (see photos above). There is some surface rust on the bottom, surrounding the bulbs (see photo above). I have not confirmed that either of the two bulbs functions, but each is replaceable if needed.
