not sure how you are going to ship it though. Certainly not by air!
How would one know if it still holds a charge?
How would you know if the one in your daily car is still working?
In the US they have gauges on them to show state of charge
Also on fire extinguisher from 1973 ?
I have no clue but I wouldn't want to find out it might not work when I needed it. They look very nice though.
No question, it's very cool
It may have to do with the price... i've pm-ed you a proposal.
As an MEng in FSE i agree with you, 50% of all powder fire extinguisers do not work, even having a pressure gauge, it is ridiculous to ask for anything else but eye candy in these objects, very nice FE BTW
If I were selling it in the US, I would have a legal disclaimer to the effect "for decorative purposes only", for all of the above reasons.
Nothing more embarrassing than a fire extinguisher that isn’t period correct!
I can think of one thing slightly more embarrassing than a non period correct fire extinguisher. A period correct one that does not work when you have a fire in period correct car . We don’t rely on period correct, date marked, tyres, we change them out approx every 10 years even if not worn. Even 10 should probably be more like 8.
De Q, do you mean even my new, 2020 powder extinguisher has only a 50% chance of working? If so I am going to carry both of them at all times.

If you plumb both extinguishers in series they will become 75% effective.
