Easiest way is to do an Ebay completed auction search.

I dug this out and reglued the shield back on it. I think it was originally glued with that same stuff Boker uses for shields.

My wife gave this to me a few years ago. The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels (hence my screen name). I'm right proud of this one.

That was from Series One and there were six different lighters in the series. There was also Series Two and Three, again, six lighters each. I have Series One and Two.

I inherited this one from an ex-girlfriend's Ma when she died. Pretty sure it's from Occupied Japan post WWII. Sterling silver, bamboo motif and has "Stew" engraved in lower left corner, and what I would imagine is the maker's name in Japanese on the back. It has the old zippo insert. I asked the daughters who Stew was and they had no idea and said it was probably one of her old boyfriends. Anyhow, it is for sale or trade... if any of y'all are interested. I can provide more photos if you like. Funny side note... when me and the daughter broke up I tried to give it back and she said... well, I can't repeat what she told me to do with it other than she told me to keep it.

...and here's one that I carried while I was in the Marines. I used a battery powered dremel to engrave it with... yeah it is rough and sloppy but I really had no idea what I was doing. I keep it though because it brings back good memories from the Corps. We had quite a few Mexican/Americans in my unit and they called me "Pablito" said I looked like a little kid and it just sort of stuck. Now that we are older they just call me Pablo.

Is the lighter dented as badly as it appears?
