    Hi people!
    I was expecting a Sievert but i got a Tilley. I don't find so much of information, i managed to find a picture of the top.
    Is the topp possible to find?
    Because the guard is similar to the X246 i will probably try to find a top from that to protect the mantle.
    The glass is bigger that the one for optimus 300 but smaller than primus 1020.
    The tank it is a Sievert what i hade as reserv. ( it was mounted on a Sievert tank, i askef the seller to dismantle it because it's nearly impossible to ship a gas tank)
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Francisc

    Tilley did some gas lamps with multicoloured tops as well but I’m not sure what they are called?
    This one with Hendon on may be earlier than ‘69?

    did it come with the gas still in the tank at all? Does it look like there is a way of refilling it?
    Certainly looks very bright.

    Thanks @JEFF JOHNSON! I looked through all the catalogues on the site.
    On another listing is just the cage and is similar, it's under the name of 562P. I didn't found any other reference to that number.
    Cheers, Francisc

    @ROBBO55 thanks, but i don't think it's a 602T. The legs goes out on 602, on mine goes in like on x246B but not so much.
    Cheers,
