Good time of day, respected judges Zippo lighters.

Please help to identify the authenticity of the lighter. Bought in quite a decent product, with a rotating rack for 1130 ruyuley. Click and all the rest - perfect, except for the fact that there is a small gap between the cover and case (comes after weeks of intensive podkurivaniya in principle not critical: 3 days full charging Chinese gasoline resistant).

The seller said that the lighter predastavlyaetsya 25 years warranty (then it seemed to me fucking), and check the packaging just in case retained.

A tepre, I doubt its authenticity: the inserts under the inscription "ZIPPO MFG. CO. BRADFORD, PA. there is another inscription, L 10. It does not coincide with the inscription on the bottom, but in principle it does not matter. More concerned with the letter "L". As I recall, there is no such month. Please help me.

PS: the camera is not at hand, unfortunately provide a photo for easy definition can not.

No pictures you hardly help. L - 12 letter of the alphabet, December.

With your lighter is OK, the date on the package inserts and in most cases are not the same as the inserts are made on a separate line and not for a specific case with a date. A letter L, means the month of December, respectively, A is January, B is February, C is March, and so on to the letter L! Zippo lifetime guarantee on not 25 years old! The seller apparently neznayu himself plainly.
And it's good to just do normal photos!

By the way, why the flames sometimes hysterically beats? Wick and flint - native (original wick, flint bought, real), petrol Chinese (temporary difficulties in financial terms).
