What is this light?

Wow

Thanks Lang, that is the exact same type. I knew it was a lot more valuable than the $150 I paid and mine is in perfect condition. Well it's time to go a polishing!!

Another MLU puzzle solved.
Thanks all for you're input.
Colin.

Well Colin, you bagged another winner. Lang, thanks for the advice about mounting brackets. This is a good result and I am looking forward to viewing your light. Something that large in brass will be awesome to see. At least you have positive facts now As I stated before, the Bogie theory is a good bar story but unfortunately based on a work of fiction.

Lang et al,

As far as I am able to ascertain, AGE is Australian General Electric, a subsidiary of Generel Electric Corp (GEC), originally of the USA, but also of Canada, (General Electric Canada): the GEC symbol on a number of 3.7 inch mobile HAA guns in Australia denoting Canadian manufacture.

Seems strange that while Aust was manufacturing and exporting a qty of 3.7in HAA, we also recieved a qty of GEC manufactured guns.

The light (subject of this thread) is not a BDL. Again, I agree with Lang about this point.

Travelling in sunny, but smokey, Montana. Back to WA early next week.

And the 'Unodesmoda' verification that this is a Ww2 flood light is based on what?

Obviously it is - it has a "bullet hole" doesn't it? You can't let a good sales pitch be ruined by facts.

This looks more like the exact one. Also for sale by our old mate Unodesmoda.
