Doctor Who Silence in the Library help!

I'm working on getting a Tenth Doctor blue suit together. I thought it would be fun if I could put together his outfit from Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. What I'm getting stuck on are the flashlight and the lunchbox. I love his pose with those props and it would be fun to have them.

I cannot find the flashlight anywhere. To me it looks exactly like the one Edmund has in Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I've tried searching for 'silver flashlight', 'old flashlight', 'large flashlight', but nothing comes up! :wacko Does anyone know what type of flashlight that is? Any ideas about the lunchbox wouldn't go amiss either. I just haven't started looking for it yet.

TIA!
 
Chances are it's of Brit origin, and I've only ever called a flashlight a torch.
Look for old or antique torches and you'll get stuff like this:

I've no idea what the prop actually looks like, just trying to help.
 
I thinks it's an LED torch from a quick squint at the DVD, looks like a Barbolight.

The flashlight/torch could be a Maglite 2D LED model:

It has the same knurling on the main body and end cap and the same depressions in front of and behind the on/off button. And, as you can see in the lower photo, the head/reflector housing can appear larger than it actually is when photographed from the front. Or it could be a C-cell rather than the D-cell in the photos; the C-cell has a smaller diameter main body, but they only come in black. The D-cell version is available in silver (like in the photos you posted), or the prop department might have painted it to make it appear more "generic".

Thank you for that pic, Birdie. I'm starting to wonder if the props dept. simply altered an existing flashlight. At least now I have a better idea of what I'm looking for. This is not going to be easy. :confused
