A Unique Petrol Lighter Restored from World War II.

A Unique Petrol Lighter Restored from World War II.
Today I am restoring a special lighter from the Second World War. It was created by a Russian soldier, from improvised means, during the siege of Leningrad, which lasted 872 days.
It was a very difficult time. The main food for people was bread. The daily norm for workers is 250 grams, for other residents 125 grams!!!(☹️) When the grain supply ran out, sawdust was added to the flour to add volume, and then paper.
I don't think we can now imagine what life was like in the besieged city.
The relatives of this soldier gave me this lighter for restoration.
I did not betray her modern gloss, I tried to keep all the old patina. Even the flint wheel worked, so I kept that as well.
I really liked the result of my work, and I hope you do too!
Thanks for watching!!! See you in a week!
Best regards, Max!❤️
