This stove is as it came to me. I suspect it was used in the Australian services, but I don't know for sure. "U.S./SMP/1982" Here is the case it came in - a 105mm Howitzer shell case. Up and running: Cheers Tony
@Tony Press Hi Tony Darn compact stove model. I love the way the military ensured several manufacturers could make this model Coleman. I have one of the ‘less preferred’ makers and it seems to work fine. Do they still have war surplus stores? I need the Howitzer case; great find. Iain
A 105mm Howitzer case! Pretty clever re purpose. I see that your burner sits above the frame. I have a Rogers burner and valve that I put on a Fiesta tank that sits slightly above and was wonder if that was wrong. Now I feel better seeing yours.
@Duck I’ll have to check my other M1950s. I paid no mind to the position of the burner relative to the frame. Tony
