I found 2 of these in a box that had mostly Pinz parts. They are not Pinz parts as the bulbs are 6Volt.
Any ideas on what they are for?

Interesting! Are the bulbs UV ones?

Looks like a military bicycle lamp, most bike lights have 6v generators.

Looks like it could be a light similar to the one on the last motorbike on this webpage:

The Condor A350 was the standard motorcycle of the Swiss army since 1974 (contemporary to the Pinz). More info here:

The earlier A250 looks like it used the same kind of light:

Great to have a mystery solved - seem very cheap though, sorry they're not worth a fortune!
