Pyrene Fire Extinguisher colour

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I've just acquired what appears to be an unrestored Pyrene fire extinguisher, dated 3.44. It looks to be painted brown (photos attached).

 

Many of these that you see around now are highly polished brass but I think it's unlikely that they were like this when used in military service during the war.

 

Were these usually painted a standard colour in service?

 

Ian.
