Yeah, used both, and it is a Burmos !

A satisfying end to this little project, thanks to all who advised !

Gremlin fired up but burning very smoky, sooting up the glass. Using lamp oil so not sure why.... Now sorted, wick too high, will clean glass and post Again if its clean.

OK thanks, will do.

Even more craziness.........the fuel cap says Primus on both sides, but the pressure release key says British on o e side and Burmos the other side. Whats going on ? Is it a Primus or a Burmos ?. Good news is the bucket test seems to show its holding pressure so will try firing it up at some point.

The plot thickens........ Something rattling round in the tank, turns out to be this........looks like an old lead washer ? Where from ? Tried to take out the NRV but cannot seem to seat the tool on it, mine seems to be 5 mm slot width but the valve looks a bit wider, is that possible ?

OK, have cleaned it up a bit, but still no sign of a model anywhere. Mystery stove on right, a No 5 Primus. Is it usual for them to not have the model number engraved on ? Any ideas ? I guess I just assume its a 1 or 5 as most bits seem to be interchangeable ?

Oh no, my wife wants to come along......be afraid, be very afraid 1. woodspirits 24~26 2. Diamond Dave 24-26 3. Greg & Alison 24-26 TBC 4. MartinK9 24-26 TBC 5. Hodge 24-26 6. Tinky Pete. 24-26 7. Big bear. 24-26 plus Mrs B 8. Muddy Boots 24-26

Thanks for that.

Fiver in junk shop

Fiver in a junk shop. Clean3d the dust off and filler cap says Primus but cannot find a model anywhere. Any ideas ? And how do I best get verdigris off ?

spare handkerchie. One for nose blowing wtc. one spare for anything else, cleaning glasses, offering to a distressed lady, pot grab, mask, etc

Just out of interest, if anyone is into the steam punk thing and wants two leather martingales attached by strap at top and chain at bottom, let me know and I will bring them along.There are six horse brasses on each martingale.

Bump and price drop.

No problem, thanks.

Would you consider splitting ?

OK, my apologies for some crappy photos in bad light. I have runbbed each knife down with WD40 and a soft cloth. There are some blotches on the Microtech, but they are I think stains, they have been there ages and are not corroding over time. Both knives bought from makers around 2000. Hopefully...

Thanks man, top tips !

Yes.

Hope this clarifies things, I dont know if its rust or staining, I think the latter, but no expert.
