What are this brace of old tools for.

The jet is easy usually compared with the NRV. I have a 1927 stove amongst others; did you know about the letter date code stamped into the tank? Valve was really stuck. Normally I would leave well alone but fuel was leaking back past it. In the end, a friend milled a slot I. The end of a length of O1 round that was a hair under the pump tube diameter. This slot fitted over the NRV and he put some flats for a spanner on the other end.
The idea was I could hear the end to aid undoing. In the end though, it unscrewed without the need for heat.

If it is a WD/MOD or cival defence item there will be a Ident stamp on the body, on the side.
If you find a stamp on the bottom it is a fake. The bottom was always engraved.

I only ever had one NRV valve defeat me.



So I cheated and had it done by an expert.
TY Mike.

Here's the immediately accessible part of the collection:

Primus 97, Optimus 97 and a Monitor Touring stove. All the "lipstick" type. Strangely addictive aren't they?

I dearnt take a photo of my collection as I would have to admit that I have a problem. I have a small one (brand escapes me at the moment, has scouts and guides on the tin) that uses a smaller leather cup for the pump which I need to find a replacement for)
