    Hi, I have been endeavouring to get a Cougar CG5300 made by Austramax for quite some time. I was lucky enough and pleased to find one finally and unfired as well. The bail is the angular type with the short ends. No labels were evident on it.

    Hope this adds to our collective knowledge of Cougars.

    Short ends on bail prevent full closure.

    Thanks guys for the positive feedback.

    The downside to such shiny lanterns is trying to get yourself out of the photo when taking a picture!
