    To tell the truth, I wanted to buy this stove just because of burner cups. After a month of observation, I bought it quite cheaply because the seller was having trouble selling it at all. Once it was at my place, after a quick cleaning, it turned out to be in much better condition than my previous copy of the 5 S:or ( not presented ). So I decided to revitalize it and here is the result: P5225845.JPG

    As you can see, this stove was soldered only around the filler. This old one mentioned above ( not presented ) was soldered everywhere ( legs, filler, burner ) and it's legs were thin because of rust.

    Dating this copy is a bit difficult. The stamp on the bottom is faint, but appears to be AN, which would indicate 1949.

    Burner is original, outer cup certainly not

    NRV and pump cup were OK, inspite of the fact, that this stove is a little bit older than me ;)
    Works perfectly:
