    I picked this up on marketplace and would like to know the value. Are mantles available? I have six. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 17826871417514876383340486560141.jpg 17826871825862187251953790909266.jpg 17826872210666219222863418704664.jpg

    Yes I would love to fire it up. The orifice is clear and the regulator is clear. I have taken it apart and cleaned it up. I know that it is a tilley from the Swedish civil defense.

    All very puzzling. The label and parts list on the orange box are clearly cross referencing Primus with Tilley.

    I noticed the primus logo after taking the picture. The glass has tilley on each piece. The reflector is removable.

    OK. So that rules out the Tilley LPG GF825.

    Somewhere on the internet it said this number is Swedish civil defense. Don't know if that's correct. 17828347827067934430846570940224.jpg

    I'd easily accept that.

    The Primus connection has me wondering.
    My only guess is the Civil Defence using the logo because the Swedish public would know if for LPG lights.
    Sounds like a bad guess to me too.
    I find it hard to believe Tilley made that box.
