    Hi everyone! I’ve found a lamp I’ve wanted for years; although it seems to be very popular in Europe, it’s quite rare in my country. It joins two other English lamps in my small collection, which is otherwise dominated by German and Swedish models. I always wanted an X246, but ideally a Guardsman... maybe you can tell me: is this a Guardsman? I’m sharing photos of its current condition. I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations regarding parts I might need for the restoration; the glass appears to be original but is broken, so that’s already on my wish list. Do you know of any product for cleaning the tank? It just looks stained, and the original chrome finish is still intact. Warm regards from a very cold Chile today.
