    Hey, Iani,

    I just saw the photo and knew it has to be you!

    I don't know how you always manage to get the most incredible stoves!

    Keep going,

    Yonadav

    Hi Ian,

    Great restoration.

    I picked one up in France a couple of years ago that was totally complete. Unfortunately when I came to restore it I found the control spindle had previously been snapped. I have the two halves - just unfortunately the business end is siezed solid in the valve. As the spindle is very thin (as you'll know) I've not yet worked out a way to remove it.

    Back to France for our annual roadtrip shortly so hopefully might find another one to rob for spares.

    Cheers, Graham.

    Hi Yonadav
    Guess I am just lucky.

    Here are a few more, you may look out for, whilst you are in France. They all have minor differences - Good Hunting.

    Crikey Ian, that's an impressive collection.

    Probably a bit naive of me to think there was only one version! Thanks for the heads-up.

    Cheers, Graham.

    Other than the size difference the profile and shape of your Pigeon looks like a rural postal route box in the United States. Only missing the flag on the side. :roll:
