    Yes, the picture of the pump was, in fact, a question. My guess was that it was earlier.

    Still didn't try the lantern, just cleaned it and I agree it was a bargain.

    Yes, it’s a pork pie pump but they do turn up on these early guardsmen and Tilley are well known for using up parts from earlier models.. i would keep it as it is :thumbup:
