Different inner casing

that will be hard without an image

an image would be very nice.
I always thought that the inner casings looked always the same.

Hi Chris,

I think, you are talking about the little mark to aviod placing the inner casing 180° to the wrong sinde.

Petromax-Lamps do not have it, the younger Geniol - licensebuilt lamps do have it.

It was an Idea to keep young and unqualified soldiers from smashing the vaporizer-needle, because often it happened after changing the mantle, that those scrubs replaced the inner casing to the wrong side.

Hope I got you right, best regards, Björn

Hmm, I got you wrong.....

I think, this casing does not belong to a Geniol 829B originally.

Maybe to an Optimus-Lamp - surely someone else can tell you more about that.

Beste regards, Björn

unfortunatelly the picture is in a very bad quality so no details are visible.
Could you load up a better picture?

Hi, Chris!

This inner casing belongs to an Optimus lantern (350, 550, 1350, 1550 and 1551). But it also fits in the big Geniol and Petromax lanterns.
