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.

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