How long did you exposed the paper? What did you develop in?

I don't find the exact info but looking at some prints from that period they show this and my guess it is very similar.

Can you explain what post flashing is? I'm still not clear what exactly it is or how to do it without ruining your exposure.

Hi! The post flashing helps this paper to increase the range as it is UV & Blue/Green sensitive so this will help where some difference in sky/clouds to separate & also as the paper is so slow ISO 1 - 3!!
It helps putting some detail into the shadows.
I use a 250V - 15 watt oven lamp as a point source light rigged to a timer & just prior to development I give it a few secs. zap
Here you have a nice explanation from Joe Cleave who lives in Albuquerque in US. Enjoy!

Thanks!

So dim bulb and a few seconds. Can this be achieved by using an enlarger stopped all the way down and turned on for a second or two?

My guess is yes, once you nail the height and time (some testing required).
