    which I found in France. It has most of its original color, a dent free fount and the hood with only
    some minor chips. After a good cleaning over and installing the washers from fettle box I fixed
    a mantle - thanks again Colin for showing how to do - and started the procedure. Well, I was
    succesful, as the pictures show. And with a reflector it even looks better.

    A very nice lamp to find Matthias!
    A virtual copy of the second generation Bialaddin 305 with the alloy frame it is the most pleasing to my eye of the alloy models.
    Is the top reflector an all black item from 'that site' ? Mike

    Thank you guys, and for me I think collecting will go on.
    Mike, its a both sides black enamelled reflector which I
    purchased at Juliands. Good quality, fair price.
    The tip from here to use vinegar for cleaning the alloy frame
    was a good one. It's nicely shining.
