@Migwar In 1946 Valor had a patent published for a silent burner incorporating ‘underburn’ prevention measures, six radial holes in the inner cap and four holes of the same diameter in the burner’s induction tube … I’m curious to know, Migwar, whether your 1947 stove’s burner has those measures, as mine from 1951 has.

Hello @presscall Thank you for the information. Please check the below picture, it seems that was applied to this stove as well.
I've lighted the stove today, no under burning happened, not sure that technology was into action in all case. But I doubt it. Any idea how to test it? I've just seen your stove. It is quite beautiful and the cover as well. How do I also know if mine was a military issue please? Indeed the filler cap in yours looks better.
Thank you for confirming that the inner cap has the holes specified in the patent a year before. You’ll see from my video that a gust of wind blew the flame downwards from the burner. With a silent burner without that underburn protection it would most probably have gone into underburn and would have required extinguishing and relighting. Military specification required a removable pump … … and was stamped with an arrow on the base.
