    Another Swedish girl. Well used and she's been around the block once or twice but still a great performer. You can't fault the quality build. Last pic is a family photo of the girls, Optimus 6, Svea 123, and Campus 3.

    Hi Nice stove, you out bid me on it, I had to choose between this and a borde. Did you ever see this youtube clip, it shows the life and times of the fella that owned that stove.

    He also owned the borde I have and a nickle primus 210, which I think you may have. And a sigg alky set which is in The Birds collection.

    Mollymor: I am sorry in my last post I was asking model type of the campus-3 and the size compared to the SVEA123 and you answered both questions here. Great collection. She may have been around the block once or twice but always better to get a gal that has all the bugs worked out of her and well seasoned and one that knows how to do her job. LoL. Thanks for sharing something totally new to me.

    Outstanding stove & pictures. That model has the wow factor for me. Pretty rare beast - I only know of a handful & am yet to see one in the 'flesh'. Enjoy!

    Rare is a dirty word Ross, only sends the prices up. [-X
