    20211230_124435.jpg One of my rarer finds. I have been very lucky to find 2 of the 7 know L427 Made in England's. I still have this one, the other I passed onto a collector in the States. 20221105_211759.jpg 20221105_211903.jpg 20221105_211936.jpg 20211114_213143.jpg

    What a great find.

    Was this lantern configured for kerosene (paraffin)?

    No, it doesn't have the restrictor in the air tube, so it's a L427 and runs on CF. If it had the air restrictor that would make it an LK427.

    Thanks, Paul.

    The English 427s are very interesting.

    Cheers
