[bikebum1975]

Landed a new mess kit don't have it just yet these are the pics he sent me. It's a Swedish set and not a trangia but a svea alcohol stove. Hoping to have it sometime by next weekend. This will be my first venture into the world of alcohol stoves to


Anyone know how old it might be? Soon as I get it I'll post better pics. He said the tins are brand new he used the stove once

Check for a crown and a date on the bottom of the pan and burner. Do look in very good nick mind.

The only thing Trangia had to do with these sets was to provide some of the burners, they are not 'Trangia's'

 

[bikebum1975]

I assume by now you have received the stove? I have 2 of these just like that, looking at the second pictures I'd say thats definitely one of the better quality made ones, I'm guessing but looks like an "NC 6*" maybe from the sixties early seventies looks in brilliant nick looks like you have landed a good un, is the origional kuksa with it ?

I love mine, i keep it in the car i have added 2 Kuska's, from Military Mart
and a Mil-Tech tripod

I use the bottles from the body shop to keep meths in, its just the right amount for a boil

This set up lets me use meths and with the tripod, i can use it over an open fire
Here is A link to the Tripod

I had two of them off Military mart. I don't think I paid that much for them.

 

[Alan 13~7]

Hey guys, just had a thought, has anybody got a 3D printer? See where this is going, I've got genuine issue original Kuksa, could produce exact proper copies, I bet they'd be like gold dust wish I knew somebody who has one....?

There certainly is - mine lives in one of the panniers of my motorbike. I scrubbed the green paint off mine so they are shiny, shiny shiny. It's a great, versatile little cook set - boil, braise, stew, fry, bake (dutch oven stylee) - just a bit too heavy to lug around on Shank's pony.
