My primary interest has always been duty used Kel-lites. I have since collected other alumunum police type flashlights from several makers.            I enjoy the 1960's-1980's era duty carried lites as this was my time on the job. The police officer of 2008 has several stunning duty flashlights to choose from , I will let some one else collect these great flashlights.  I'm always interested in the above older duty used flashlites that you may have for sale.  I occasionally have flashlites for sale on E-Bay. I have been blessed with a son who is computer gifted and with his help my website gets upgraded when he visits home....
