this is mine

http://www.theconnections.com/product_info...products_id=194

bought it from the states.

too many fakes locally, even those selling at those watch shops. hard to tell the difference.

Here are some ways that i've found out:-

Feel the warning wordings on the inside body, must be engraved smoothly.

Check the felt pad, must have lift to fill on it.

the sound, real zippo's have a higher pitch

zippo's are heavy

the datecode engraved is very thin and the only thing you should be able to feel on the bottom is the deep zippo logo.

Its Bradford PA not Bradford RA

BRADFORD.PA. MADE IN U.S.A. - dots must be visible but not thick or big

From the listing on lelong, all Zippo's there are fake.

no matter how good a fake is, its still a fake, they still cant get the logo engraving done properly.

Luckily mine are genuine...
Anyway, you got a nice Zippo...

thanks man.. but i'm looking for a genuine seller of zippos if there are any locally. Any location ppl?

Hi everyone...

I have 2 zippos just arrived from states today with red sealed. If anyones interested can email me mandrakefx at yahoo dot com or call/sms my hp 013-7619716. Smooth marking at the bottom L 02 and Zippo bradford P.a usa. This is genuine/authentic product which is for Malboro promotion. If not original i will refund you money. Dont worry and peace of mind. Like you all i dont believe that were sold here in m'sia lots of fake which are made in HongKong or China. Why wasting money on fake while you can afford original zippo. If you need more informations about Zippo just visit manufacturer site or youtube just type/search "ZIPPO" or "ZIPPO Fake". Tons of infos there. My selling RM100 each extra RM5 for poslaju. Brass zippo excellent.

Great snap and cling sound from original zippo. Nice playing with Zippo.

Im newbie here...
Just like to ask...
The number under our zippo is the year made???
If the number is VI mean 1996 or 1986 ???

u can get fake online in lelong.com.my if u wish to buy it from a shop, then go to sg wang.
original, always look for a watch shop with a zippo display with its logo shown on the display.

All original Zippo always come with Box dan Warranty card

Zippo Box & casing:

P=Plastic (standard collection zippo)
C=Cartoon (standard collection zippo)
T=Tin (Special Collection: Beatles, Jack Daniel, Harley Davidson)
V=Velour Box (Time Lighter Collection)

A= Januari
B= Februari
C= Maret
D= April
E= Mei
F= Juni
G= Juli
H= Agustus
I= September
J= Oktober
K= November
L= Desember

01=2001
02=2002
etc
08= 2008

How to spot a fake? always look for a barcode in the box, and every lighter model will have different barcode for different model.



few of my zippo Collection

Zippo Zipper, Zippo Venetian Brass, Zippo Silver Plated
