As for steel, I'm not sure - steel were lighter in 1945, but they were bottom of a convex outward. The similitude of the usual worn chrome brass, which has been used since 1946 (although the photo is not in his hands, hard to say). And the depth stamp put only started in 1946. And judging from the 16 hole, it did not before 1947 (although do not rule out such an insert and could vary.)

In general, 100% I can only say that it is certainly not in 1945. In 1945, such was not.

What about steel: chromed or rust - my all donnyshko inside rusty - since 2004, to quit smoking, it is not never ran and did not use

dry weight of the lighter 56 gr. - Weigh the, brass, is the run? - Very interesting!

relative had received it as a gift from the Americans, came home crippled in 1945, in 1946, he already had a son born :) lived on a farm (North Caucasus, Tuapse district), did not go anywhere from there and do not have physical opportunity to change insert!

For example, I first saw this (this) lighter than the picture and live with him in 1991, so rule out the possibility of replacing inserts - had them on sale in the USSR (at least in the boonies)

Yes, and if possible replacement - would he rather nail axis collective farms?

I repeat: not a single example of the tables and insert the stamp donnyshka my lighter does not beat: (

and taking into account the information from this site, that the steel produced through 1945 inclusive - just do not understand, for what period it attributed

will the son of the relative front-line advice to urgently changed birth certificate - more could he be born in 1946 - his father until 1952 sharilsya somewhere and begging for a lighter :))))))

no offense!

The situation is simply absurd: the facts contradict the directory ....

Request to Moderator: Please close this topic - while I am not convinced that this is a replica of the year before release :)))

Let the mystery remain a mystery.

Druzhischsche, you know what pizdezh different from the legend? So that pizdunu say he pussy, and a man to tell a good legend believed. Your cousin-soldier earned the reputation that that was a war, but how and when he got this lighter, does it matter? Can and has been sharing with the ally, and then lost a gift, and he crook extracted little thing similar to the memory of the meeting .. Experts date precisely the years of publication. That is indisputable. So what? How would that change your life? There is a legend, a feat the departed person, there is a piece of metal, looking at which you remember it.

Thank you.

Good answer!

That's right, it is better to leave things as they are and not to engage in excavations.

So how can there be hurt :) I am your expert opinion on the dating lighters made: 1948-1951. Could the same and its former owner some confusion, especially after 50-60 years ... Maybe this is another lighter, and the one presented to somewhere still is not found :)

Yes, some can also be hurt?

Not at all!

I got it over in 1991, when the owner was still alive and in a sober mind. Since receiving it as a gift from amer was about 36 years. Old school was chelovechische to lie.

But .....

Fact and directories are different, and so was born the request to close the branch.

Honestly, no offense!

I just realized the attempt to clarify who bears for many years, but did not seem possible.

Thank you all for your help!

That's the phrase is not entirely clear. If it's been 36 years since the gift from the American before your ownership of it in 1991, the gift was given in 1955. And then everything is the time, because Lighter this - this is exactly the period 1949-53 period - 5-edged loop (since 1949.), insert if Nickel (1949-51), if the steel, the 1951-53 year.

He does an American could not give it in 1945 - would be violated space-time continuum)) Zippo from the future!

my fault - not exactly considered / number have

course from 1945 to 1991 was 46, and not 36 years.

In fact, everything was as much fun, because the real intrigue - where does a disabled World War II, lived bezvylazno postwar life in the North Caucasus, the American lighter, where it was released just before the start of the Korean War? It's just what the holiday is ...

Here I can not understand

On the one hand, knowing the man and his lifestyle from the "post-war" (again, with his words and the words of a close relative), and the way he brought gifts valued two-relics (second - German dagger briskly beautiful) I can not imagine where he would nadybat and so keep the lighter 50's :)

on the other hand - the facts directory

Zippo seller in Belgorod region (he gave me the address of this site) suggested that the lighter could be "transitional model" 1945-46

may be he is right, the body-in the beginning of 46 already had a "pressure down '

except that the material of construction - steel ...

Steel war, as far as I know (I could be wrong) - was solely coated black crackle. It could not go on "naked" are - the more it is simply a piece of rust would become, obviously.

Wonder that so many years have not fallen off cap - its hinges thinnest place of our own ...

Damn.

Intrigue powerful, of course.

Studying catalogs, also came to the conclusion that it is, in theory, should be "bathed" coating

Loop caps still in fairly good condition, though significantly backlash, and the joint fall off and did not think - there is good contact welding prihvacheno that as much on the outside clearly visible :)

Yes, that's the point that I could not. Exact - could not exist in 1945.

It is in this that and twist. The presence of a U.S. veteran of World War Loot 41-45gg - this is more the rule rather than the exception. From a can of stew to the aircraft. Lighters, can openers, flashlights ...

Boring and ordinary.

But here is the presence of a veteran American goods produced just in the period of the most hysterical paranoia against the Allies - that's cool.

Maybe someone should write a good letter in English, attach the photo and send it to Bradford, they can shed light on this situation?

Well maybe there is some sort of a zkovyrka, which is known only to the company Zippo.

In my opinion, the board has the right to implement :)

if the whole world is already spilled, then try!

If you get the answer, whatever it may be, will post it here.

Thank you all!

Maybe this is too much, but I would ask such a question on the page of Zippo - http://www.facebook.com/Zippo

At least, they would see the opinion of experts and amateurs around the world ... There's a lot of fans of rarities ... But, I think that the company Zippo would not stay in the side ...

and do it!

thanks for the link!
