    Being born in the 80's and growing up in the 80's/90's I'm a sucker for the Maglites myself. I have two 4Ds that I upgraded with Malkoff drop ins. One has a M61W, and the other has a M91T that I'm running on two 18650s with adapters. About last year or so I came across their spectrum series...

    4D Maglite Conversion

    Welp I finally decided to convert one of my old 4D icans to to LED. For this I opted for the Malkoff M61W drop in.

    RARE MAGLITES

    So here are some photos of my latest acquisition. I don't think the silver Mini is exactly an 84. It has the stamped TM Bezel, however the light engine says "Do Not Remove", and has the latest style end cap. The inner diameter is also slightly bigger, I am able to slide NMHI batteries in and...

    RARE MAGLITES

    That is what I've heard. Last night I just won an auction on the Bay for a 1984 Silver Mini Mag. There was an auction for a pink 1984, I think that one ended up going over 170 USD.

    RARE MAGLITES

    The black one I just won in an auction on eBay. Not sure the story behind it, I'm going to reach out to the seller and see if there is one. I did come with the belt holder that looks just about as old as the light. I have a thing for well used lights as well. The bush light I picked up...
