    Hello guys, not to be with the "hands in hands" I found at the flea market on Sunday that this lamp Hasag probably produced around 40 years!
    What do you think?
    I think it's a Hasag n. 42 produced under license in Italy by PROVIDUS (factory lamps Italian).
    Am I right or wrong?
    Any help is welcome confirmation or denial.

    Hi Onafest,
    this is surely a HASAG 42 / 142 / 242 from the pre-war period. The hood / inner hood as well as the top nut seem to be the "old style". Also the soldered label on the tank reminds me of the pre-war designs and the handle is secured by the bajonet nuts. The meths cup maybe points to a late design of that period.
    However I bet that the filler cap with air release screw are from a Petromax 826 or the like.
    If there are no cracks in the fount this lantern should restore well enough :thumbup: ! I've got a very similar lantern in my collection.
    BR, Martin
