Also, please let me know how you got the CTC? Presumably from the look of it it is WWII issue. I don't think it is legal to sell it or use it anymore. My understanding is it is a neurotoxin so not likely I'll be able to run out to my local hardware store to get some. Maybe I'll just try to pressurize my extinguisher with air (as I believe was the pressurizing agent) and leave it at that. Or... just clean it up a bit and leave it completely alone. No sense overdoing it only to do damage.

Thanks,
Henry
It was a field find Henry and the guy selling it didn't know what it was . I have no intention of using it and it will remain sealed in its tin.

Your extinguisher looks in good condition, one of my favourite renovation tools these days is Renaissance wax as it helps restore some of the original colour and helps preserve metalwork.

I finally ran into one of these extinguishers at the flea... sadly, I had to leave it behind. Pretty sure the seller meant $250.00 and not $2.50.... :lol: :lol:
Heres some pics for posterity.
The handle looks more like the one from the Pyrene version on the previous page.
No label on this one.
