    I found this stove on a wholesale China export Web site.
    The image is poor, but it is a close repro of a Whisperlite.
    I never had a Whisperlite, but I have seen them around.
    I was surprised to see the clone, unless the stoves are being legitimately made in the P.R.C.

    It sure looks like the Whisperlite Universal that hikin jim reviewed a short while ago.

    Since everything is made in China now, it is hard to tell the real thing from the copy.

    This one is a little different in some subtle ways.

    First, the pump is like the older MSR pumps, not the current ones.

    Second, the legs are a little different.

    Third, the attachment for gas is not present.

    This looks like a clone of the Whisperlite Internationale but does not look like the new Whisperlite Universal.

    If you're interested in the Whisperlite Universal, I've got some photos and such on my blog: The New MSR Whisperlite Universal.
