Yes. That is right. I didn't spot the Optimus brand on your air screw (not opening up the thumbnail images). Interetingly, my Burmos air screw...
Addendum- There is 1939 example in the Stove Reference Gallery.
Yes. I have the same air release screw. It works very well and I cannot see Primus changing it between 1912 and 1938. Perhaps, if you look at the...
I have a "B" Primus No.1 (i.e. 1912) with the same trivet. Apart from the Bakelite pump handle, I believe you have a pretty original/authentic...
