lol oh hey! XD I have an old Zippo!! I think mine is from the 70s but it barely wants to work. The previous owner used it pretty hard apparently, because I put fuel in it and new flint and it'll last for like a day and work fine but the next day it won't light. That's a snazzy looking piece though, thanks a lot for the upload!
From what I have been told about this one is that its vintage 1966. (Mint and never lit) The back is engraved from the general when he presented it to an officer. The officer gave it to a Korean business man to sell and I bought it. The Korean business man was also selling lieutenant general Chae Myung-shin's Zippo. He was supreme Commander.
I somehow accumulated a whole bunch of military Zippos- 3 belonged to my dad, a neighbor gave me a few, and one or two I bought at a flea market. They're super collectible.
Unfortunately, reproducing old Zippos is kind of a cottage industry. I would never consider paying collector prices for one without impeccable provenance.
