Here's a photo of that Billmans lid I was talking about PD.
I looks exactly the same as the lid on your deep camp oven, what do you think?

That's amazing Astro, I just went and got my lid and held it up to the screen, yep, identical, the only difference there is no ID on my lid. Like SBB says it just gets more confusing, how old do you think your lid is, what size and does it come with a pot ?

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

No idea of age, but it seems quite primitive older casting technique used with the handle not sacrificial wax method, and no pot to match, 12"s.
