| Dear gurus! Please clarify for the ignorant of what material made Zippo inserts. Also please clarify, maybe they know that all the steel is made and from which the inserts are made of lighter type replica 1941b, etc. and etc. made of brass and other rare and precious metals. I ask a lot of questions arise mk from customers like: "why not aluminum lighter aluminum insert ... or titanium 13th ... not titanium or brass 1941B no brass")) As far as I know for brass lighters use conventional steel inserts, just paint them a yellowish color which quickly climbed because of what appear "suspicious")) |

| All inserts for Zippo made of steel, and even cigarette lighters of precious metals (silver, gold). also on titanium, brass and copper, can do inserts leash covered coated in the color of brass, copper, or gold, well! so suspect potdelke do not, all right! And why so, most likely from the convenience of processing steel and its strength to wear! |

| About how ..! Seriously ..? And I'm ashamed to say, I think that if the model name is "pure copper" or "pure brass," it is made entirely out of this material ... And looking yellow inserts look so natural brass ..., ( |

They look natural while new, after a while using a lighter coating starts to wear off, and can be clearly seen that the steel insert. And copper and brass, and gold and silver metals themselves posebe soft, and used directly in the production of inserts probably not rational! |

| Welcome all! With regards to the inserts, but a little different now. I broke down last spring plate under the cam. Today called the service to Kiev, there asked how looks lighter, in the sense of white or yellow, and said they will send tomorrow. Absolutely no problems, I am told that a genuine and described the appearance. That's a lifetime warranty! However I have to pay for shipping, but that's another istoriya.Zabyl say that I live in Kherson. |

| Hello, here I have a question. I have a 41 st replica, almost new, used for about a week, on a shelf. So decided to insert a new insert in the 41 th, and from there to the one that I use all the time, so they did not fit! This is what the 41's were special inserts makes it possible for the other form of the hull? Although the eye not particularly distinguished. |
