I hadn't heard of this stove when I saw it online for a fairly low price. Looked like it could be a nice addition. The tin is quite weathered. Stencil lettering on the lid. I like the choice of colours. It didn't need much work, other than the NRV, which was gunked up and needed a new seal. It included an unlabeled spirit bottle, which unfortunately does not hold liquid. No wind shield included. Two significant dents in the fount. No other example of this stove has a safety cap. I am assuming it is not original, as this style of stove wouldn’t need one. This stove is the only example I could find without a boss to store the reserve cap. I like having a unique stove, but not in the form of inferiority. Oh well. I like the detail on the stubby, fixed legs. Unfortunately, this stove has been over-polished to the point where the knurling on the pump cap is gone. Nothing to see here The vapourizer tube has a separate collar to thread into the fount, as opposed to the threads being part of the tube. The burner was firmly attached to the tube, I was worried about bending it if I tried to remove it. The assembled burner fits in the tin just fine, so I figured there was no reason to take it apart. The pot stands fit loosely, making them a bit wobbly. Priming with methyl hydrate This tiny stove puts out an impressive flame, though a bit lopsided. The pump is very effective. And it can hold a low flame too The burner is very close to the kettle Compared with a 1952 Primus No 96 As others have noted, it gets very hot. The fount was too hot to touch after burning for about 10 minutes. As a result, it keeps a good flame wherever you set it. I have very few British stoves, but I am happy to have this one in my collection. Anders
