Greetings!

Here, bragging - the day before yesterday arrived this Zippo from Japan :)

I'm not a collector (I hope), I get a light she just. Visually, it is not made of brass coated and seemingly solid steel. Packaging differed from the American presence bag with hologram, and of characters on paper.

By the way, do not tell me why Japanese Zippo much more expensive than North America? The matter is a limited edition?

Pricing you guessed it. The point lies in the fact that "Japanese" is almost hendmeyd, I mean from Bradford go "clean blanks" and already in place they applied the original engraving, drawings, pasted items. It turns out very interesting gizmos (in Japanese beauty understand) just for this beauty, and you pay extra.

Gorynych5,

Thanks for the Old. In principle, the cost of "Japanese" in Japan is comparable to the cost of "American" in Russia. But for 75 bucks for a familiar Zippo - a little crazy :) Well, the funny thing is, if you do not lose ...

About steel, I probably got carried away - not the magnet housing. Inside dull gray - usually in chrome (nickel?) Shines yellow brass inside. Feels like in a hand different from American Hi Polished Chrome. Across and magnityaschiesya "American", and brass.

Insert steel, attracted by a magnet. Years on the insert and the shell does not match 0% in 2011 and 2012, but I think it's not scary. Lighter 100% real ...

Japa during processing could "sprayed" and the inner surface of the housing, because brass is not visible. Well, the difference data is not even discussed))))
