I have the same kettle, also with intact handle, although my kettle doesn’t look as shiny and new as that one. Had it well over 20yrs, probably nearer 30!

Mine was looking a bit like a bacteria breeding ground so I cleaned the greasy top half, but left some patina on the lower half so I don't appear too much of a noddy. Well over 35yrs old.
It has survived a couple of optimus paraffin stoves, several colemans and now has a happier life being bathed in propane from my bulin t4.

I wash and clean my trangia kettle, inside and out after every trip. It looks as good as new. Do I have a problem? OCD, Some kind of fetish? Or an unreasonable desire to remain healthy.
