Unfortunately your pictures for some reason can not see. Traces of "sealant" I believe the insert can be seen from the inside? This is normal.

So it's just a fake? Just bought on the forum, there dealer sells them for a long time and vouches for authenticity, you need your confirmation, so as not to be unfounded upon presentation of satisfaction, added a photo.

I am grateful to you in advance.

Firstly Armory always flat bottom, and secondly it is a model 169 high-polish-solid-brass, third bukavok such curves on the die and the case and the insert just does not happen ...

Vladimir is certainly worth the wait for other statements, but when you add a couple more shots, I'm 99.9% sure that your purchase of a fake, unfortunately ...

Take a look at bukovki, the stamp is removed as possible, but the inserts just seen that the curves really knocked the year 2010, where 0 is less than 1, almost half even with vision -5 hard to miss ;)

Re-shooting, she glares infection, distorts the picture: (10 bit flat, that's perasnyatye photo inserts, yellow flint well, it just blends as an insert himself too yellow to match the body, but insert the magnets.

Here's the other side of the insert pictures, and loop perefotografiroval. But difficult to photograph shiny object ever stray reflections ...

I'm no expert, but loop is not always in the middle. for example in the article Kuryokhin "Fake cigarette lighters Zippo" lighter compared two Jack Daniels, fake and real. http://zippocollector.ru/archi ..... # 1975 , so at present there is also a loop slipped up, and at the bottom of the gap.

yes normal Zippo, just a brachok.

Check out a very simple way of that described Vladimir Mihnovich: http://zippocollector.ru/archi ..... Ippo-Fakes . Personally, when I buy my first zippo did. Helped. Maybe it is true, but has already been in a terrible repair?

Not a trace of the horrific repair I can not see)) Just the first photo provided by Vladimir were of such quality that I was wrong. But such cross strips on the bottom left when you open a lighter beer bottles. By the way, is it so serious about a piece of brass? If even (well, all of a sudden?) And a copy of it, the quality is so that I would not bother. What is the main problem of low-quality imitations? Rough handling and malfunction hole for the wick is too narrow, which prevents fuel normally evaporate silicon stuck in a well. These are the schools of the device does not make happy, and headache. And if it works, then it is you need to try to find out the truth? ;)

Barbarism, there's not been suggested for such a ban immediately)))

In general, buying a fake and proudly flaunt them!))))

Why rush to extremes, do not only see black and white, in the spectrum of the rainbow plenty of other shades. There are some patterns that can not identify even the factory workers of Bradford, and indeed it now produces enough curves, skew product, jumping out at the opening of the inserts, "double" stamps. Of course there are fakes in the rough hands, then take the nasty, but Zippy and family are far from ideal, in the end, there is such a thing as a "defective product" and something tells me not pass "OTC" are not discarded, but end on the shelves of "drifting" from the factory for half-price. Rhetorical question: Is it better to faulty lighter curve of Bradford or qualitatively made Uncle Liao imitation? For me, as the answer is obvious to the user, for the collector, he is diametrically opposed ;)

Regarding the production of zippo - will take note, do not know. And on account of the relationship for good counterfeits do not agree, yet I have only two real and one fake Zippo, but in spite of this smallness and lack of proper experience think it's better to have and to use these lighters and qualitative performance than using a well-functioning, high-quality lighter and not really think of who made it. Why then do give preference to zippo? If so, and to be faithful to the end of it ;) I think that it is not extreme.
