    Here is a Primus 80 in a New Zealand custom box manufactured by J.J. McCaskey of Wellington, NZ (per CCS member cinc) in this related thread (thanks cinc!):

    I'm placing it here in the Primus section as the majority of the stove is of Swedish origin.

    Thanks to CCS member theyellowdog for the generous and gracious help as stove broker so that I could obtain this one. I'm posting the as-received pictures to show my gratitude for his help. His recent email to me on the linked topic above prompts this post. Eventually, this will be a challenging project stove for full restoration.
