Hi. Nice find there. Not been on for a while and my interest in lanterns comes and goes, though there's always several ready to go 'on the shelf'....
Nice job mate, not been around for a while hope you're well and more than ready for the Winter ahead. Is that a .308 casing??
I've just this minute serviced a friend's Guardsman dated 12/60. One washer came out and I put one back in, forgetting it should ideally be two!??...
Thanks @Alby - I certainly intend to! First light up for this will be this week I hope. :D/
Of course, doing what you say to an unused stamp of that vintage would be reckless vandalism. Driving an unused Ford Cortina from the 1960s - just...
@David Shouksmith True, but the analogy still has a modicum relevance - I wasn't really drawing the analogy monetarily though. Enjoyment of...
Lol, should I take that with a heavy pinch of salt @David Shouksmith :roll: There must be loads of unlit M320's sitting in collections..
After much consideration I have decided to light it and put it into my collection with my other working lanterns - I don't really do inanimate...
Sorry, No Deal..:thumbup::clap::p But seriously, by the bottom 10 I meant, below par/sub-standard/no good/inferior etc, etc...:roll:

Hi George - It sure did come new in box. The previous 'owner' had opened the box to inspect the contents and that's it! I was a little flustered...
@Tony Press I keep forgetting I can access the Reference Gallery - lamp looks very nice! I'll probably do similar and not light mine, though it...
I'm in a bit of a quandary really. For what I paid for it (40 quid), I'm not too sure whether to light it and use it, or keep it tucked in it's...
I believe, if I recall correctly, according to @David Shouksmith around 2004/5??
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I acquired this apparent unlit M320 off of Facebook Marketplace for a good price. It came with a sealed spirit can and...
You're probably quite right, I've got a can of Ford Moondust Silver, I suppose I could try that. Hadn't clicked with me tbh, I thought it was a...
I have a later Vapalux 320 fount I stripped to bare brass and 8 months on I've decided I don't like it and want to give it a fresh coat of grey -...
@ColinG Yap, as @MYN says, it must've been some perceived increase in production efficiency, though the gains were palpably pyrrhic in that...
