    A rare, nice find. Needed "serviceable" pieces replaced and a lead washer added to the NRV and bung where the burner screws into. Did a vinegar soak for burner parts, wire brushed the brass mesh then. Flame is acceptable, did not need peening yet, at low pressure the flame is off side, but evens out at higher pressure. Was owned by sellers grandfather. A great find for my large Primus 96 collection. We now know this was a year this model was still produced, previously was thought '41 and '42 were not produced in the 96 model lineup. Stove had all parts, usually one thing or another is missing. Had the hardest time locating spanners and new prickers that were the correct size for many of my other stoves. Many times these stoves come with too large of a pricker.

    If not the Holy Grail, a sacerdotal vessel nonetheless!

    Thank you. The washers shown were in the fuel cap and the last piece were difficult to remove, finally hit the last piece briefly with a torch and it came right out. No lead washer on the NRV, but replaced the cork pip and no washer under the lipstick, so wonder how long ago it was last used. Carbon in the bowl is what I scraped out of the burner.

    Peened a couple light taps, better flame. More even, much less if any yellow.

    Hello, please help?
    Is the fuel of this stove gasoline or kerosene?

    It seems that the pump part is closed, so what is the pressure to use kerosene.

    There are two fuel inlets on the body. Why?

    Thanks for the answer for a beginner

    Uses kerosene.
    Uses a integrated pump on the fount side to add pressure.
    To regulate the flame you add or release pressure via the air screw on the fuel cap.
    One fuel inlet, the other is a boss to attach the travel cap to when the stove is in use. The travel cap replaces the burner/lipstick when transporting to contain any fuel in the fount if left filled.

    Hello, thanks for the reply Unfortunately, during translation, some terms and meanings are not used well and the meaning is not understood
    For example, the meaning of ( fount ) in Farsi is translated as the total word of the alphabet

    Fount = tank = fuel vessel
