Lantern identification

Hi

Can anyone help me identify the lantern in the picture. It is the only image I have so I cannot offer more images.

Thank you in advance

I think it could be a Vapalux 300x but I don't know much about Vapalux.

1946 (ca.) VAPALUX 300X

 

Going by the shape of the tank it would be a bialaddin 300x

Ok great - thank you for your help

 

If you have found that lamp in DK the cage, burner and hood is a Vapalux mounted to a Bialaddin tank.
They were used in the army that way and I have never seen them with the real Vapalux tank which is more square or having "shoulders" if you like.
They were also always marooned.

 

Looks like an early Vapalux 300X, nice with it having the pressure tit. Is the hood marked at all?

 

@Hasag4ever :that is an interesting piece of info. I've see three other examples like this one posted on this forum:
@M.Meijer posted this one recently:


@Claus C posted these two back in 2014-;

Reviewing the post he mentioned finding them in an army surplus place in Denmark...
I think we all assumed that they were just more "bitzas"- looks like they left the factory like that after all!
