They are sometimes sold as German War relics, but this type is too new for that. The light is shaped like a small box, holding the square battery. The cover has a green and red glass. Inside is a small clasp, I think to hold a spare light bulb (not included). The daimon flashlights were indeed used by the German army in the Second World War, including a type 2233. But Daimon reused the number 2233 for a later series of torches in the nineteen fifties. The war type had three colored glassed (also a blue one) and did not have the text Made in Germany.
