Hello dear fans lighters zippo. On my copy of the case, there is no year of manufacture. As I explained   looks like they have worn a matrix that knocks year. It would be interesting to know your opinion.

Oh, I do not believe that would be due to the matrix they beat perstali year, is there not a time of war and in 2009 all the same? HZ for that trick!

Waiting for answers pros!

I myself have asked the experts, waiting opinions :)

My opinion - 80% sure it's a fake. Look at the loop. Zippo can not make such a sloppy and curve loop. Or is it a marriage that mysteriously slipped through quality control.

A little later publish other opinions other pros :)

I think 99% lighter for real, look At least on the marks on the screw that clamps flint, she was going to the factory, that's only a year ... can anyone spetsom it broken, no damage to the inside of the body? (And the seller that this miracle you're still in par, knows about the production line every comma) respected sereban you did not ask, maybe he's up and running?

insert just natural, head on by section, and on the case, says Mr. Kurehin while in the hands of out of it nothing can be said ..

Hinge looks very suspicious, that's what confuses me. Zippo does not make such careless loops.

Good all day! Thank you for answering my question. On the inner surface of the body where the month of manufacture can be traced an inverted V, and where the year is a little slurred vmyatinka. I chose this lighter here: http://www.zippocasemuseum.com ..... uctdetails

And people in Moscow and ordered me to relay. In principle, his honesty, I do not doubt how much of it until only positive feedback. I even think that it turned out: he received the shipment of the site, checked this model or not, do not even think of taking a box and sent to me.  

         A very strange story of this year, and for several days with not manufacturing the cigarette lighter, while only positive impression, clear click when tearing, clear and sonorous also closing, insert is tight enough, as they say vpritirochku, do not hang out in the general I think it should. When closed, the upper body to the lower fits tightly, without zazorchikov and distortions, opening springs, everything works well.   In the absence of the original Zippo petrol   tucked in Newport, lit with a twist, a spark of good, not smoked. What can I say I do not know, except for the absence, in the lighter suits all.

         Thanks again for the comments, as I will be grateful for the new view.

Separate subtlety in the fact that the site does not send zipocasemuseum.com parcels from the United States. Ie somewhere in the U.S. was another intermediary, well, or you have chosen the model on the website and lighter actually came from another online store that, in general no difference. But it's just a word.

But I still think fake, agree about negligence loop, and if you look at the letter A (signifying series armor) clearly stamped.

In general, the verdict is: 80% of this manufacturing defect, which for some reason slipped through quality control and hit the market. Very rare case. 20% - a fake. But not knowing 100% for sure the origin of this lighter, I can only say this way about.

Good all the time! I have a similar case. Also "Armor"-only "Brushed Chrome", is also the year barely visible, but still slightly visible, the first digit is 0, the second seems to 9, but not vidno.Uvazhaemy "Sereban", I suspect that the lighter you ordered Ilyas have, right? I saw your line of thanks, on that forum it is still last, but all the same I tend pologayu that our true lighters zippo, me, my, it also inspires trust and this zippo I have not the first and it was from him, I already received and lighters, and canister zippo, and Learn-lovers zippo I read for this person only positive feedback. In a steel I'm 100% sure, though absolutely trust in such matters can only be our manager, but perhaps more Korolusu :). I wrote in the forum "Vulnerability zippo", had killed his "Armor" to experience burning and respected kypexin, advised to go lighter on the Korolus, I do not have time to do it, but very soon I will begin to call them, that's when I told them send it (if Korolus give "good"), and then find out that this is a shtampom.S respect ... P: S (photo not yet possible to lay out)

Gentlemen, look closely (in the first two pictures it is clearly seen), the last letter in the inscription USA, is also very bad stamped, I tend to think that this is just a small marriage, although the marriage can not be called, because the lighter-works fine, I'm right Sereban?

I think this is due to the thickness of the metal, the pres sometimes penetrates the thickness of the metal thickened!

I think (if you look good), the first two pictures "Sereban"-and then also difficult to see a faint imprint of the year, look carefully.

Hello Dear fans lighters zippo. Many thanks to all of the views expressed! I have read and completely relaxed. Though, as I said before, that the integrity of the seller and no doubt still puzzled over the strange stamp. Now, from your messages and photos, it is clear that this is not an isolated case in the production of   Lighters Zippo. первая цифра точно ноль, вторая скорей всего девятка. Today the bottom of a body slightly polirnul on felt circle with pasta Gentiles, was seen a little bit better about how the photo Evgen74 respected, but worse still, the first digit exactly zero, the second probably nine. The rest of the lighter did not disappoint, works perfectly, the day took it out and light a hundred times probably okay.   I apologize that messy explain. Once again thank you all for the comments.

I think all the same topic should be useful, as a respected Golden-Joker found in his collection without lighter year. As I understand it you've never paid attention to it?
