hmmn.its quite telling that he states "carbon" was put in the acetylene container whereas any knowledgeable owner would know it should be calcium carbide.

There were thousands of Model H triumphs supplied to the war office.and this just happens to be the one ???

Seems  like just another mislead buyer sold false provenance when they bought a bike.

Or am I just a cynic ?
