    Just got this AGM lantern, 3705. Have not seen this color of fount, nor the heat shield like this, a extra hole too. Parts for my other one I hope. Pump shaft is wired down. :) Will have to check the Gallery for others.

    3705 was normally maroon. I have never seen it in black but that does look original. I would suspect the NRV is passing and requires a new seal. ::Neil::

    Color is more a dark purple, looks original. Extra hole, doh!, lighting hole. I don't know how it ran long enough with the pump shaft wired down, or it didn't work out for PO. Pip was missing completely, like my other one. Parts are cleaning up well. Lantern in listing looked worst than when in hand. Pricker assembly is in order, pulled right out of the valve, genny needed to be heated very well to release the pricker rod. All looking good, except the collar not so much.
