Hello everyone, my names Mark and I’m a Dalek fanatic. I don’t mind torches too!
I have joined your forum to ask about a specific Pifco torch and if anyone has ever seen one in real life. I do apologise as I’m not sure where this post on vintage torches should go on your vast forum.
The Pifco torch in question is a British torch presumably from the 60’s or 70’s and was used on a Dalek eye from a 1973 TV story.
I’m not sure how to post a photo of it from my phone. Can someone help?

It’s the torch on the far right. The Guardlite Torch.
Hi Mark!
Welcome to BLF
I am not much of a help concerning the flashlight you are searching, but a least I can help you concerning the images.
Since you are using a photo from the web, you can copy the URL from the photo (not the site) and then use the editing menu that appears when you write a post. Use the image icon, paste the URL into “Image URL” and then you can define a % of the image size.
For the image below I set 70%.
Hope this helps!

I like sci-fi, and daleks look cool, but I never got into Dr. Who.

Those were the times!
When every household had one flashlight… leaking away in a kitchen drawer.
You are a flashaholic if you are forced to come out of the closet, to make room for more flashlights.
Ha, ha,
I’ve had a few rc Daleks leaking away with the battery compartment completely corroded.
Thanks you guys welcoming me. It’s a pleasure to participate on your forum with such nice people, thank you.
Yeah, I suspect this is going to be a right nightmare to find, I bet there’s none that still exist!
I hope that’s not the case.
FLASHLIGHTS
Quote: Early flashlights ran on zinc–carbon batteries, which could not provide a steady electric current and required periodic ‘rest’ to continue functioning. Because these early flashlights also used energy-inefficient carbon-filament bulbs, “resting” occurred at short intervals. Consequently, they could be used only in brief flashes, hence the common American name flashlight.
TORCH
Quote: A torch is either a wooden or metal rod wrapped at one end with a material that has been impregnated with a flammable substance and ignited. It also means, in British English, a battery powered portable light source: compare flashlight. Flaming torches have been used through history and currently for various purposes including use in processions, symbolic or religious events and in juggling entertainment.
Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Like having a modern light in turbo mode. Plus, switch it on in your pocket and it feels like a torch. Everything’s coming back somehow.
DW fan here!
Smile, you cannot kill them all.
