    The locking tabs have, PAT - PENDING on each one.
    The only other markings are around the pump locking collar. Made In Sweden Primus.
    The light blue paint job looks to be original and I will leave it that way.
    Cheers

    The burners have been replaced and could the filler cap be correct ???
    The light blue paint reminds me of another company.

    Another beauty. What is the function of those little tabs ? Swing out pot supports ? Perhaps they held a frame, trivet ?

    Hello @Paul Aslanides
    Yes to hold the trivets in place, if only someone had used them.

    Marko57 Thanks. With a picture of the original trivets, perhaps some new ones could be made up. A good camping stove.

    Good stove! There aren’t many of these in the Reference Gallery, but the filler cap doesn’t follow the pattern of other Primus range stoves with this style of filler.

    It’s a pity the trivets weren't with it.

    Cheers

    The Gloria “Juwel 52” stove certainly looks like it was modelled on a Primus range stove — completely different burners to Primus, but interestingly the filler cap/pressure release is similar to your stove.

    The Gloria 52 also has fixed raised pot rests, not removable trivets.

    Why I'm thinking a special order for Gloria is mainly the blue paint which looks to be original
    and a very close match to some other early Gloria items I have. 20220925_094912.jpg

    There are some details looking german or british rather than swedish - but as it use swedish burners and pump parts in combination with what looks like machine or engine pipes and fittings - I would guess it's an aussie assembly, partly aussie made circa 1940's.

    @Lennart F

    The tank, pump, and burner feed tube connections look the same as other Primus 512s in the Gallery.

    The stand, too looks like a Primus stand.


    Cheers
