Consensus after a discussion HERE is that the guard on yours is original, mine probably not, though it fits and looks well. The stamp on the base...
@Steve Lawson An excellent example Steve. Hopefully the jet will be unworn to give good combustion. I wonder if I could ask a favour and that’s to...
I don’t know your skills/resources but a carbide burner is a precision device, with a brass mount (incorporating the ‘fast’ threads you describe...
@Ross Hayes Thanks for looking. No thanks, there’s plenty of Coleman literature on this site’s corresponding site for stoves, Classic Camp Stoves....
