It's a pity the stamp did not really see, but by what you can see, I personally think that it is a "curve" does not inspire confidence. Insert (in this case, the edge of the windshield on the photo above) also does not look quite something, some kind of edge it too .... I do not rovnenkie The size of the letters of the month of manufacture (A = January), almost the size of the letter Z in the inscription Zippo, and this is a clear sign of "Levot" it must be nearly half ... compare for example with my Zippo-th January:

And here is your:

I think the difference is still there.

I'm not an expert, but at these photos lighter I doubt. IMHO of course, I could be wrong, besides not quite picture quality.

Sorry for the quality of photos on fotike like normal lighting was, and threw on a computer ...

I just compared the size of the letters Z and A, and so A vochti 2 times smaller. Maybe the photo is hard to see. Maybe I should take a picture again stamp?

Without good shots you exactly no one will say anything. It seems to me, or on the stamp is missing the letter "R" in a circle to the right of the Zippo?

salonik allusion to the "R" in the photo is, it is necessary to re-shoot, very crooked .. Unfortunately operate with such material difficult. Otherwise agree with comrades and xidemonix Kuryan, it's most likely fake ..

On an insert is present letter R, and I just read about here to see prices lack the letter R on the outer box. Then said she was authentic (the one without outside R)

But thank you all very much who unsubscribed. I thought I would wait for a response before sdes trail. of the month)

If you mean the one box that is lighter body itself, that is not authentic copies of this letter. But this does not apply to you.

Here differently happens, it happens in a moment receive an answer, sometimes a month. This is a private saytik of people united by the same passion, and not the official on-line consultation ;-) And here already written, even if your zazhYgalka not true, anyway, stay tuned)))

With all the directories at all easy. If it is a model of any other year, it is a catalog of 2010 ceremony could not enter, in Zippo such "forgetfulness" is generally in the order of things.

Thank you so much for so lucidly explains. By the way one more question to you.

Yesterday when tucked in and set fire to everything was "how-to video." Today ignited just as well with a half-turn, but when I close it and open in 5-10 seconds, white-white smoke, but not very concentrated. What can be done? Refuel the original benzyl

Do not open it in 5-10 seconds and that's all. The smoke is just an indicator of fuel quality, so it is not as original as you think ... If there is no other side effects, then just drive in for it.

Should, it's gasoline. No acetone, no alcohol, no cologne or yogurt. This gasoline and can expect to smell it ;-) The smell is gasoline, not sharp, but recognized to be present.

Thank you. ;) And I'm just very sensitive to everything attitude). My fire is not very high, but in the photos here to see prices I have seen that some of it is beyond me, very much so. I have a flame height of about 5-6 cm, maybe a little less. This is normal, or should it be higher?

The flame height you quite "classic", it is regulated by a long slope and the wick. Greater than 5 cm, this is a chur. Unless of course you're going to get a light cigarette lighter, not reheat frozen oil in the crankcase at KamAZ-30C ;-)

Let's just say ... Posting new clones neprivetstvuetsya. Loads an search engine. Do not hesitate to ask more questions in an already established themes. There are themes and about gasoline, and about wicks, and about authenticity, about the Pope not like this, you can create))))) Exception is your collection, then everyone creates a separate thread and boast about my achievements ;-)

The magnet can not help. Chinese alchemists invented the brass! Let a little later than other people, but this technological leap they made ;-)

About the same inserts, more doubt is itself a stamp on it, the font is different (slightly wider than the original), and punching herself offset up (there may distort the quality of the image) and right (IMHO there certainly).

Your second photo only confirmed my opinion that this is NOT the original :)

Excuse me, but after the second picture I think it's now even more :)
