    Here is the test fire up of a newly aquired Bialaddin 315.
    After a few issues with the NRV (pip replaced) and the Jet valve, it seems quite happy!

    The 315 is my favourite Bialaddin and that's a nice example you have there!

    A well working lamp.
    Any age dots on the bottom?

    @LatMag49 3 Large, 11 small, so November 1963? Nearly 1 year younger than me! Only the Tank and frame are original. I have added the rest of the lamp.

    These are great lanterns and yours looks to be burning really well.

    Even thought you have made it up from parts it looks exactly the same as my 315 apart from the globe.. So it is a 315 ! The original globe shape is the square stepped one, same as the 320s

    @Fireexit1 I have the correct glass on a spare parts lamp. I might swap it in the interests of originality!

    Just applied a couple of finishing touches, namely rescuing my old Glass from my battered 315!
    She looks Ok now....

    @Fireexit1 Yes, I grabbed that, as they seem to be in short supply at the moment. I suppose You could use a Tilley Torch if needed when lighting.
    Not sure whether to touch up the tank spots though?
