Old 🔥 LIGHTER 🔥 Repair - Trench Art style -

This time I do a repair of a very special and old lighter, this restoration is a tribute to all who lost their lives in the first world war... I got this trench Art Lighter from a friend who is a metal detectorist, he found it buried very deep in the sand in a local beach. Many years of salt water rain sun and the various minerals from the ground left that unique "patina".
I choose to clean using electrolisys then a soft grind and lots of polish. Also based on some figures i managed to find on the net i made a missing piece out a rod of brass.

Other great restorations on youtube to watch i recomend :
-- Awesome Restorations - EXTREMELY Rare Lighter Restoration - World War II Battle of Bulge 1944 --
-- Awesome Restorations - Zippo Lighter Restoration, Vietnam War MEDIC Repair --
I really enjoy restoring old things and liked the outcome of this lighter restoration. I’m so lucky that I was given this opportunity and of course given this special World War lighter a new life.

Que historia tendrá ese precioso encendedor, con el en las manos y dejando volar la imaginación te puedes trasladar a un desembarco de tropas en esa playa y el soldado saliendo a la orilla y arrastrándose por la arena intentando protegerse de las balas del enemigo se le caería el encendedor. Excelente trabajo como siempre, felicitaciones.

@@HandsonRestoring Тоько у Дамблдора эта штука была побольше. Но открывалась также. Внешняя скользящая часть сдвигалась вверх и колпачок отъезжал в сторону. И колёсика с кремнем не было.
