Wow!

Maybe you could send the pics to Hal Christy and see if he has anything in the family archives? It must be a very rare Christy.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

It came from the mothership in Ohio, so it is genuine.  :tu:

Just got another brass Peak Eiger (this time AAA/10440) to go with the Mariner. Closer is size. Need patina though.

(Image removed from quote.)

I am seriously thinking of a Peak Eiger, but the Peak web site does not show which is which as far as keychain vs Lug vs pocket. Theres no phone number to call and talk to someone, which bothers me a little. Also, how does the variable output work, like others having to twist it on and off to get to the right setting or just turn the head more?

But, like the Christy, I like that its all designed, made and assembled  in the U.S.

But, like the Christy, I like that its all designed, made and assembled  in the U.S.

They are a very small family operation located in AZ with rather poor web-skills. The owner is Robyn Seabert and is pretty good at communicating.
The light heads are made to order so you need to pick the led, optic metal etc.
The bodies are available in aluminum, copper (in some styles), SS and brass.
Mine about is the lug style. the Pocket is similar with out the lug (flat bottom)/.
The keychain, which with the momentary switch has a tail switch for instant on/off only.. I don't have a pic of the keychain without the Momentary switch but can be seen in their pics on the site. 
The most notable feature is the QTC which allows for a gradual ramping from very, very low to full output. It can sometimes be finicky and some don't like it and opt for just full output (on/off).
They all can run on most any kind of battery (AAA, NiMH or lithium Ion).
It can be a bit intimidating to order but Robyn (or I) can help if needed.
Here are some keychain bodies with Momentary Switch, a lug with a Mule head on the right and the Ultra head second from the left. Left is the Logan (different light altogether).
