    Pretty much as I received it, a 1955 AU stamped Primus 41 Roarer.

    I got it in 2015, by the looks of it it was subject to a decent fettle by a previous owner.

    I gave it a light polish to even out the patina, replaced the tank cap seal with viton and soaked the pump cup in neatsfoot oil for a couple of days as it was getting hard, its been fine since.

    It's been on some trips with me but got a little side-lined/used as a backup after the User 41 took preference. That will change occasionally now as the User has gone Silent :whistle:
