Thank you for sharing. Is there a stamp on the bottom of the tank to date this kit? The key looks like a clack key, could that be? What does the label inside say? Ken in NC
No sory snwcmpr thereisn't a stamp on the bottom of the tank yes is a clock key the original one is lost
The case forms part of the British Military No7 stove set (look in the stove gallery under GB - Military). The No7 stove set consisted of the the case you have, with an Optimus 80 tank with a Svea 123R burner. The cases can be bought via military surplus stores and are very strong with replaceable pot supports. All the No7 cases that I have seen are stamped on the lid with '139 3651 [up arrow] SD1 78'. So yours would appear to be a Primus 71 in an British Military No7 case. Terry
Yes Spiritburner the stove is older than the case by a very good margin, the original case was very rusty and I replaced it with that one. Best regards Mta, Malta
