    It depends on the price of course, one of those lamps has the one piece handle so that's a bit different and it's a WW2., version, the other one is a pre 1940 version.

    Thanks replies. Yes confirming what I thought after a
    check in the reference gallery. I think the price being
    asked is pretty good at £30/ ea.

    I don't think I will be buying since I don't like the model
    very much. If anyone else in southern England fancies
    them PM for location info.

    I'm not very good on Tilleys, but is the one on the right a PL53 with an EX100 handle? If so, did it come out of the factory like that or is it an amalgamation? I can't see a PL53 in the gallery with that type of handle.

    Hello Terry, that lamp is correct and there are many odd combinations from the WW2., period, they were due to shortages of materials, Jeff.

    Sorry for rubbish initial port with the photograph not inserted properly and funny text spacing which I think Christer
    sorted out for me - thank you Christer.

    This results from being the maiden attempt at posting using my Ipod - all I had with me at the time.

    Message preview on it seems to tell lies, anyway you all got the message which is what matters.

    I have seen a PL53 with the solid handle before, but it was fitted with a reflector, so it is not unique.
