Up for sale is a Vapalux M1 lantern
1972 dated with military stamps.
It is in very good condition; there are a couple of small dings on the tank and the hood has about 90% original paint left.

I bought it as a project for the winter but now I have a baby on the way so time to start saving money.
So far I had stripped the paint from the tank, replaced the tank screws, changed the jet control, replaced the generator, replaced the asbestos wick with modern one, serviced all the washers with Viton replacements.
the next job on the list was going to be stripping the hood and repainting.

I will throw in a spare jet control, Viton service kit and a set of spare brass tank screws. Also a new mantle as the one that's in probably won't survive transit.

I would like £90
