Yeah I think your right because you do see the pressure tit on the later brass tanks (brown versions) and early Vapalux 300X slim tanks. But it...
I would say that is all correct and a very nice find. No split pin on the air release screw is common on the earlier lamps. Not sure exactly when...
@BigStevie yeah I’m really happy with it, always nice to pick a bargain up, then bring it back to life.
Cheers everyone much appreciated.

Some nice lamps I see, Bialaddin 300X, Porkpie and a BR something…:-k All the others are good also….:lol:
Tilley X359, looking at the code underneath I would say yours was July 1960. Looks to be nice and original, complete with its pre-heating flame...
It’s working well, good light.
