    This is the 350CP version of the rapid heater models. Same frame size as the 829.

    Very nice :thumbup::thumbup:
    Only the jet and the cleaning needle were different.

    Nice lantern, I have this one in my collection now.
    It's on the left next to a 829 500cp.

    Hi, what's the difference between the two of yours?
    I'm looking at these 2 lamps, both say original petromax

    Those two lanterns look like they were made in China.

    For reference,

    Made in China, note the different shape:

    Made in Germany, there are 10 points on the star. Chinese copies have 11

    Wow I didn't expect that...it has written genuine original all over
    Are they compatible for parts with genuine Petromax?
    Are they as good as original ones in functionality?
    In your opinion worth rebuild? No glass, but the rest seems OK looking
    Thanks for your advice and information
