Unfortunately your photo for some reason it is not visible. Traces of "sealant" I believe visible inside the insert? 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 satisfactions, added another photo.

Advance grateful.

Firstly armor always, flat bottom, and secondly it is a model 169 high-polish-solid-brass, thirdly bukavok such curves on the stamp and housing and the insert just does not happen ...

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

Look at the little letters on the die as possible so photographed, but just insert shows that curves really knocked the year 2010, where 0 is less than 1, almost half even with vision -5 hard not to notice ;)

Re-shooting, she glares infection, distort photos (10 bit flat, here perasnyatye photo inserts, yellow flint well, it just blends, because insert himself too yellow to match the body, but the magnet insert.

Here are pictures on the other hand inserts and loop perefotografiroval. Difficult but brilliant to photograph constantly stray reflections ...

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

yes normal Zippo brachok just some.

Check very simple reliable method that describes Vladimir Mihnovich: http://zippocollector.ru/archi ..... Ippo-Fakes . I personally when buying their first zippo did. Helped. Maybe it is genuine, but has already been in a terrible repair?

No trace of the horrific repair I do not see)) Just the first photo provided Vladimir were of such quality that I was mistaken. But such cross-stripes on the bottom left when opening the lighter beer bottles. By the way, is it so seriously 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 substandard imitations? Rough handling and inefficiency, to wick hole is too narrow, which prevents fuel normally evaporate silicon stuck in the well. These are the schools of the device does not make the joy and headache. And if it works, then it is you need to try to find out the truth? ;)

Barbarism, even here it has been suggested for this ban immediately)))

In general, buy fakes 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 samples that can not even determine the Bradford factory workers themselves, and indeed it now produces enough curves-slanting articles bounding when opening inserts, "double" stamps. Of course there are fakes in the rough hands take something nasty, but Zippy and relatives are far from ideal, in the end there is such a thing as a "defective product" and something tells me not passed the "OTC" is not rejected, and fall on the shelves "floating away" from the factory for half-price. Rhetorical question: Which is better defective curve Lighter from Bradford or qualitatively made Uncle Liao imitation? For me, as for the user answer is obvious, for it is diametrically opposed to the collector ;)

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