The heatshield is slightly diffferent to an 8R heatshield with the bottom bent away from the tankThe stove has been made multifuel by the addition of a mini pump so that the tank can be pressurised to burn paraffin as well as white gasoline (Coleman’s fuel) and spirits.The nipple fitted is suitable for burning paraffin or white gasolene (Coleman's fuel)You replace the nipple and insert a a restricting tube if you want to burn spirits. Those parts are included with the stove. There seem to have been two versions of the 199. This version has wire pan supportsThe other version had two plate pan supports which rested directly on top of the burnerI think that this version is probably the later version but that is an opinion not a proven factThe stove comes complete with brass and aluminium windshields, mini pump, the correct pan lifter and a strap which is similar to the original but not an Optimus replacement The pan supports are very slightly discoloured suggesting that the stove had been lit but used very little apart from that.The pan is not discoloured supporting the view that the stove has not been used muchThe stove has been tested with paraffin and the flame pattern shows the stove running on it.These stoves are uncommon so are well worth addition to any collectionPAYMENTSI accept UNCROSSED postal orders, crossed personal cheques and Paypal for UK buyers.
