    I have this two part windscreen in route (no brand name on it) and I'm wondering what to do with it.

    I know each person here might pick different accessories, and that is what interests me. What would you add to make it a kit for you?

    Car camping, hiking, whatever type of kit you can come up with will certainly help me realize the possibilities.

    Thank you in advance.

    You're wide open there. [Without knowing exact dimensions].
    Looks like a naked Svea123 would sit inside just fine like the Sigg Tourist.
    Or a Trangia burner, maybe on a tuna can, or a vienna sausage can, [to get the right height -- ~1'' above burner rim to pot bottom.]
    A gassy with a remote fuel can might work.

    It may have been a <<Sturmmkocher>> for Meta tabs, if I can recognize the cut-out shape. Meta tabs are obsolete and no longer made. You might find them for lots of money on ebay, but they were no more effective than Esbit [hexamine] tabs but chemically different.

    Thank you @SveaSizzler, the ad didn't give dimensions, but he did say this, "This is an accessory for the Swiss Borde also known as the Borde “ BOMB”"
    I didn't add that info at first because I didn't think it was part of the Borde family from the photos I saw in the gallery.

    Borde ''Bombs'' have gotten to that unobtainable tier of mystical grail stoves, like the Optimus 9, and the Comet Scout 6.
    Frightfully simplistic, and dangerous to the average [bumbling] consumer, the Borde design is a slim fuel reservoir with a looped coil coming from one end, and a daisy-like flame-spreader/regulator valve worked into the top of the coil. [About the size of a 2-D cell flashlight.]
    It was for experts only, who scoffed at danger.
    See them in the Stove Gallery. They do rarely come up on the Bay of Evil, at exhorbitant prices.

    Thank you again @SveaSizzler, I have now found them in the Gallery. Shame I've only got two parts of it.
    This one might be generic though since it doesn't have markings according to the seller.

    Borde stoves are no more problematic than a Svea 123.

    At least I know how to use a Svea.
    Shame a Borde stove didn't come with these screens.

    Evening, @lisantica ,

    Yep, that looks like a Borde windscreen, for sure. I used to have four Bordes, but sent one to a Mate in the UK. It needed a repair that he was capable of performing. Now, I'm down to three, two of which I bought used, and one I bought brand new, and new it stays! I've not found the set that you have, and cannot recommend what pots might fit such a kit. Looks great, though, so keep your eyes peeled for a nice Borde to go with it. Thanks for sharing your kit, and good luck in making it complete! Take care and God Bless!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    No comments on the Borde. I've never touched one.

    Lisa, if you haunt thrift shops, you'll sometimes find great bargains on single pieces of classic camp cook sets.
    I found an almost complete Mirro 2-person cookset at Goodwill once. [4$] Just needed a strap and a pair of cups.
    One thrift store was selling small metal pieces for $1.79 /pound. I found an official Girl Scout mess kit, with an extra graduated aluminum cup and a 1/8 Tsp. [as a minimalist spoon. ]
    I found an Hard Anodized aluminum camp kettle, and a '50s 1 Qt coffee boiler at te same Goodwill, nut a couple years apart. [about 4 or 5 bucks each]
    Also various small diameter cake pans can be cookset frypans with a pot-grabber. Same for small aluminum or stainless bowls.
    If you familiarize yourself with the various pieces of the old camp store cookset products, you'll recognize them when loose in the wilds of the thriftstore. Or generic parts that coincidentally fill the bill.
    My Coleman 425F was bought for $9.95 at my local Goodwill. I only had to scrub off 20 y.o. pancake batter. It worked fine. Still does.
    Happy Hunting.

    I have encountered people who were deathly afraid of the 123.
    For them, there's the $8 dollar gassy.
    I guess I scoff at danger.
    If I find a Borde in the Goodwill for $8, I'll grab it.

    Didn't Sigg make the Borde pot set?

    Probably did, Ken. The circle hole with two vertical bars is also same as the patterns cut in my Sigg Tourist for Svea123.
    Mine also has squared 2-3/8 x 2-1/4'' [60mm x 56mm] openings at 120*. For heat dissipation, maybe.
    Sigg and Borde are both Swiss.
    The Sigg logo will be stamped in the center of the bottom screen.

    Thank you all for the contributions and clarification of what I have.
    I do have a SIGG Tourist, so when this item arrives, I will see if any of the parts work with it. Then I will start browsing some thrift stores as recommended.

    As others have suggested, the circle-with-bars pattern is a Sigg feature. Hopefully your existing pots fit.
