KSF-1

KSF-1(romanized from КСФ-1) is a Soviet flashlight.

The KSF-1 flashlight is of an age-old model, similar to those used by almost every nations armed forces in the 20th century. Apparently the KSF-1 was manufactured into the early 90's, photographic evidence shows it has been used in the Chechen wars, it is most probably still in service.

The outer steel shell features a simple rubberized strap, that can be quickly opened, allowing easy wear on a belt. The strap also has a slit in it, at the top, this can be used to keep the flashlight hanging from the buttons of, for example, ones jacket. On the front the KSF-1 has two simple switches, that slide green or red coloured lenses in front of the bulb. The switches on top are simple, a slider that locks the on/off button in place, and a button for that most important of tasks, to turn on the lamp. The insides are simple, just a few copper plates and springs. A reserve bulb is also kept inside.
