Old Viglant identification help

Hello all,

I am looking to get a old viglant up and running and need help firgureing out which model it is so I can tune it up for use. I think it's a old viglant coal stove but not sure. Any help would be appreciated . And I really hope it's a coal stove as think it really freaking cool

Vermont castings sold a kit that you were to install in your stove to burn coal. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this stove does not have the kit so you will not be able to burn coal in this stove the way it sits right now. You could burn all the wood you would like though.

That stove is the Vigilant 1400. It’s considered a “multifuel” (wood and/or coal), but in my experience it is best to burn coal. However, it is incomplete. It is missing the damper handle on the left side, the rod that goes through the hole in the lower front left to the grates, and all of the inside coal burning parts. Here’s a photo of mine for reference.
