WWII Flashlight with Rust Holes - Restoration

I bought this World War II German Flashlight. The model is Daimon Telko Trio. It was a common typo flashlight the Germans used. It is a bit rusty and the traps on the back were completely gone. Later I also found that the rust had even amde some holes that needed to be fixed. This project took me forever to finish due to so many phases and filming makes everything many times slower. I even made a 40 minute version of the project to my Patreon page. It has a few extra scenes and clips.
I began by disassembling the flashlight. Everything was riveted together so I needed to drill a lot of the rivets out. This type of rivets were not easy to find and only ones I found were in a bag of 500pcs and the price was 50€ ($54). So I made my own rivets. I also used a rotary tool to remove pins with peened ends.
For making the rivets I needed some custom tools but that can be seen on the video but basically I cut pieces of brass tube of correct size. After this I used the tools to widen one end of the tube into a funnel like shape. This funnel was then hammered flat to create a rivet very similar to the original ones. A pop rivet could have been used but I don't thin it would have been a good choise from restoration perspective.

    The red light is for looking at something at night, without limiting your eyes' night vision adaptation. If you use a white light at night, and then turn it off you will be mostly blinded for several minutes until your eyes adapt to the dark again. Red light does not cause that effect.

    @C. Caner Telimenli well no the business concept of planned obsolescence didn't become popular until the 50's, and even then many German manufacturers were too proud to adopt it at first. The reason shit made from the dawn of civilization to the 40's lasts is because until very recently it was bad business to make shoddy products.

    23:56 : I could imagine that the red light was used in combination with the "shield" in front of the lamp to read maps etc. as discreetly as possible. Red light has very little energy and it's being used by photographers in their darkrooms (so the image won't be exposed to light) and even by hobby astronomers like myself at night to keep my eyes adapted to the darkness. It's amazing to see the process - or one could even say transformation - of refurbishing old hardware to a state of which you could barely distinguish if it's brand new or the rusty thing from the beginning of the video. Keep up with your great content!

    came here hoping to see a comment like this. I served in the military and can confirm we only used red light for map reading at night. the light emitted doesn't travel that far compared to say white light. Downside to using red light however is missing contour lines dependant on the scale of the maps being read, topographical information can sometimes be lost.

    Diamond as a raw material isn't inherently rare nor expensive, they're readily available as in no added processing is needed. Jewelry diamonds are expensive because they're artificially priced due to monopolization and due to the added craftsmanship that makes them shine. Industrial diamonds sourced are artificially made (very fine) or from scraps diamond-cutters create. Get a bunch of them and stud them into a drill-bit.
