    I got this reflector on a Tilley EX4 and i have no idea as to weather its Tilley or another brand or even homemade.
    Can anyone tell me if they have seen one before? or if its homemade thanks.

    I don't speak from any great experience but it does look a bit home made. The wire-rolled edges seem to have been done with a hammer after forming the cone. (from what I remember from college a long time ago)

    Could be it was originally made without a hole in centre as rain hat for old gas heater or hot water service chimney

    @Jean J, then the other reflector is a Tilley one.

    @Buggerlugs

    I think you be sure it’s not a Tilley reflector. I reckon @Graham P might have hit the nail on the head.

    Cheers
