It retains its original beveled glass, which is intact, along with the original felt covering on the top. Evidence of actual use includes candle wax residue and soot inside the lantern, adding to its character and history. The lantern displays beautifully and would make an excellent addition to any collection of Swiss military, camping, lantern, or field gear. It is equally suitable for display or careful use with a candle.
Good vintage condition with honest age and use. Paint loss, scratches, and wear are present throughout, consistent with age. The beveled glass panels are intact, the felt-covered top shows age-related wear, and there is candle wax and soot from prior use.Please review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
