    I have a new and old one. The windscreen on the new one isn’t actually brass, it seems, but some kind of lighter, yellowish
    Metal. Still a great stove, and Pricker is nice, of course.

    Note the pin. A rare early design.

    @snwcmpr inspired me to give this stove a try. I decided to try out my Thompson Ritchie kettle for the fist time while I was at it. The kettle worked well and boiled water quickly. Being able to see the flame through the kettle holes was a bonus. The stove worked well but had an orange flame instead of the förgätmigej blue.

    It'll clean up.
    It's the best Svea 123 version.
