I really wish I had grabbed a set when Sportsmans Guide had them a decade ago for $200.
That's all I know. |

Ehhh...just go buy a couple of Streamlight Siege AAs, or Ds and call it a day, is my opinion, or if you want white gas capabilities, a couple of Colemans, or their propane jobbies.

I'm not a fan of the Petromax style lanterns. They're finicky and require a fair bit of know-how to use.
Coleman white gas lanterns are cheap, easy to use, and about as reliable as a hammer. |

Compare price to that of same-type/condition Coleman lantern burning same fuel. Add-up cost of spare parts and accessories for both. Then decide.

Looks like this, if anybody not local to the OP's surplus store is interested:
https://deutscheoptik.com/Swiss-Army-Petromax-Deluxe-Hurricane-Lantern-Sets.html I would grab a set if they were $200 too

Like people here have said these have become collectable and prices are way up. If the price was right I'd buy them myself.
Also FWIW: http://www.petromax.nl/petromax_tale/petromax_myth.html |

They don't look like material for eclairs, though.

Chris Or, some Harbor Freight 1250 lumen lanterns for $20 each. I use these heavily and they work fine. IMHO, the Swiss lanterns are overpriced for what you will use them for. But sadly, all surplus these days is overpriced..... |
