There are at least two more types of Romanian flashlights made after the war: the first one is made from plastic or bakelite and is very similar with a German one that is very rare, it is marked EL-BA and below RPR Republica Populara Romania (Peoples Republic of Romania). The other type I've seen is a military one painted olive green it is very heavy and has no markings.
