    Hi Paul and welcome to CPL!
    That looks to be an uncommon lantern and in good hands!
    Could I ask how you found your way into the world of pressure lanterns at all?
    Best wishes

    Was a user for 20 years and a friend brought me his Coleman 220E transitional to look at and after that I was hooked on the older models.

    Ah! :thumbup::thumbup:
    thanks Paul ! :)

    It’s bit like like ‘ abandon hope all ye who enter here’
    but if that helps then you’re in good hands ](*,)
