Because War is nothing but a Business.

[@DexyD20]

I know red crosses mean medic and before it was restored it was red, you can just barely see the paint, but my point is more about the person who would have bought or been assigned such a lighter in the first place. Since medics are usually less violent than there soldier counterparts, I could see a medic carrying this more than a machine gunner or rilfleman. That being said it could have been anyone's because, if I went to war I wouldn't be a medic, but I sure as hell would have a lighter like that.

I would like to thank you, for giving me motivation and knowledge of how to turn old rusty stuff, into something shiny and useful. My grandmother had jewelry box. It was covered in old paint, oils, rust, smelled very bad, one leg fell off. Nothing good. Now it shines, is functioning and I (granddaughter) use it for grandmother's old jewelry, that I also fixed. I am also reparing a second box, but it takes a lot of time and tears, because I would never got those boxes when my grandmother was alive. So thank you one more time.
