I'm a film student at NYU, and in class today the SVP of Production at AMC came in to speak to us. He handed out many promotional items to my classmates, including hats and seasons of Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
He asked if anyone wanted a screen-used flashlight from The Walking Dead, so I raised my hand. I've never seen the show and know little to nothing about it.
Could anyone tell me if this could be, in fact, a screen used flashlight?
I've attached a picture below.
Very nice that it came directly from the SVP of Production at AMC, I guess there would be no reason to doubt it's authenticity.
Probably just a background item or piece of set dressing, but very cool
Could be from one of the Deputy's in the opening scene of the series. I don't think it's from Rick as he likes the basket weave gear. I'll re watch and see if I can find it.
Also out of curiosity, what does it say on the side of the torch?

It says AMC The Walking Dead. I'm assuming if it was used in the show, either it was masked during shooting or only a set piece. Any thoughts?
Also there's a series of numbers on the other side: 6230-01-574...
When I typed the numbers into Google, this is what came up.
NSN: 6230-01-574-2749 (FLASHLIGHT) - ArmyProperty.com
If that's the case I would rule out an item used in the filming of the show, perhaps a promotional item or crew gift?Spence said:
No matter. It's still the best flashlight I've ever owned. Quite bright, and it appears to be very durable! I say this thread is closed. Thanks, guys!
Wait a minute, you have not watched the show and know little about it?. Cool of him to give it to you
Most definitely. I plan on doing both.
don't remember it from the show, but anyway its a $250 Gerber flashlight, if it say walkin......., maybe its an expensive promo item.
If I had to guess I'd say that would be Shane's torch given he is the type of character to have that strapped to his belt or in his pocket.
