    This is about the same packed down size as the Svea 123 with a better pot.

    Cheers Tim

    Morning, Tim,

    WOW! What wonderful and compact little outfits those are! I'd dearly LOVE to have one of those, just because it looks so easy and effective to use!! But, we rarely see them over on this side of the pond, and when we do, the prices are a bit higher than I can afford most of the time. In any case, it is great to see yours, Sir, and many thanks for sharing them with us! Take care, and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    I really like it.

    Any idea of its age?

    Alejandro - yours is not necessarily missing anything. It was available with just the stove & windshield.

    I'll have a root around in the cellar but I'm pretty certain that there are 3 variants (pan sizes) of the 71E.

    Small, Big & a little Bigger.

    Normally small or big but there is one with a nesting set of big pans. I don't have one of those 'Russian Doll' outfits :cry:

    It was only when I saw this outfit here I realised It was complete.

    The stove in the first set of pictures did not come with this outfit
    ,this one did a Pr 70.

    I had to change the riser tube as the original was damaged and replace the filler cap washer(thanks Ross)
    Neither the 70 or 71 has a date code stamped on the base.
