    I was out stove hunting at the weekend and came across this scruffy Burmos 21:

    It has an ugly solder repair to the filling tube:

    This stove came as shown, without it's container, spanner and meths tin. I was going to walk past it as I already have another, complete, example of a Burmos 21 when this caught my eye and caused me to part with some hard earned:

    1231935379-P1120002_opt.jpg

    Compare this to the same area on my existing Burmos 21:

    1231935358-P1120003_opt.jpg

    This is the first time I have ever come across any foriegn text on any British stoves I own or have seen. Before posting I've checked with a couple of other members with extensive collections and they do not recall seeing this on a Burmos stove either.

    So is this a rarity or are several of these going to come out the woodwork with this prompt? Anyone any idea on the language? I assume it reflects "British Made" in whatever language it is?

    Thanks for looking.

    Yes that's correct. It is Arabic and says "Made in Britain".

    Hi Sefa,

    I was hoping you'd step into this thread - thanks very much for the confirmation of langauge and the translation.

    Ross, what are the chances of that eh? Very lucky scratch - I'm off to buy a lottery ticket now if those odds are coming home to roost :lol:
