Here's my Hovik Verk standard 102 lantern from Norway, I found it last week. The original globe was missing, so it's replaced by a Primus globe. The original nipple was worn out, to much orange flames around the mantle. It's replaced by a Primus 1020 nipple. It's working fine at the moment.
I think that there is nothing wrong with replacing a globe that gets broken or is missing with one of the correct size from a different manufacturer. Of course it would be nice if you could source the correct spare part, but why would you discard a perfectly serviceable lamp just for that.?
