So one of these?
Except that they don't call this a Trangia. As near as I can tell, there are Swedish Trangias, and Swiss Volcano Stoves, but what does a Swiss Trangia look like?

What is the burner in the front there? I know you can fit a trangia in the Swiss stove, but it is far from ideal as it is not easy to get in or out.So one of these?

The cup came complete with mine, but I have never seen the burner before.That is interesting, I bought the flask and stand at a boot fair last week but the brass bit and the cup were not with it. So is it a Swiss volcano?

Optimus ( another blue blooded Swedish quality product) also used to make stoves which are 99% like Trangias. The burner thread is even exactly the same as on the 'real' Trangia burner.
I never understood if they were made under license from Trangia but I assume so.
Trangia was (and is) a small manufacture, and I think when the Swedish army restructured and modernized in the late 60's they just could not produce enough to fulfill the orders. They made huge amounts of the differently sized kits, from the special one my unit used to the Infantery sized one.
I do not know about the attrition rate of the Trangias in other units, but I think about a tenth had to be fully after a weeklong stint in the nature. Maybe 50% needed something replaced.
