Bought one on ebay just last week. It's Hellesen btw, no middle n.

They do turn up, listed as a Hellesen lamp, they sell for a tidy sum. Listed as 'old torch', they go for considerably less!

Default Hellesen manufacturers

Occasionally they turn up.
Found one in Holland, a green CEAG, new in the box and WD marked.
They were also made by Davenset and Sunlite and I have seen an advert from Eveready showing the same lamp.
The black ones seem not to be WD marked.
Sometimes these lamps are listed as "railroad lamp".
There seem to be more armored vehicles than lamps which might explain why these lamps can be expensive.
Wartime records mention battery shortages for these lamps.
