All welcome. Yes lighter excellent, congratulations on the acquisition. The design of them is really difficult, "tricky". But at that time they released Telki lighters with a complex mechanism. Many did so, while this was. Here's a link to the site with photos of "Thorens" and not only. http://benzinaky.com/Thorens_E.html

Yes I am aware that not only let Thorens Similar mechanism. But in my experience from "clever" Thorens contains more details :) And I like the fact that there is no niodnoy rivets, all unscrewed =)

Well, for someone to appear differently for someone not as elegant, but here I am personally delighted. And for someone to do the ugly, but I think all it seems interesting and unusual because of its structure :)

yes, I was blown away, of course, when I saw the wild card spot!)) a feeling that the accuracy and efficiency is the main feature of Swiss products, I am, of course, did not know what they are doing and a lighter .. but their accuracy is comparable to within hours! Well, big respect!

can ... go on Thorens? ....)))))

Here, no one knew, and Switzerland makes a very good .. Do not tell azhigalki Germany has not produced any lighters during the 2nd world war .. prsto grandfather told me long ago about his father being a military past and the war had been in the war in Germany ... and we (as if mildly) robbed her ... And old warriors liked to play "point" .. So they put on the table some political lighter (descriptions may Zippo) lit and the light played on German attics ... My grandfather said that his father had brought some of the lighter but I have unfortunately not found :-( Tell-shipped to Germany before U.S. lighters (ZIPPO) or they had "their", "brand"?
