Under what subcategory , Great Britain/Tilley Lamp Co..?
Was there ever some sort of different retaining system for the lenses , I kinda expected to see an unfaded ring from the copper but in the...
@Anthony , I'm still having a hard time believing it (the outer steel frame) was modified by anyone after it was made , all 10 holes are identical...
