Many counterfeit lighters look a great deal like a real Zippo lighter.  This is especially true of lighters that depict the designs and sentiments of the Vietnam War era.  Zippo enthusiasts know that authentic Zippo lighters carry the Zippo bottom stamp and the Zippo trademark stamped on the lighter insert.  The famous Zippo Lifetime Guarantee also accompanies every genuine Zippo lighter. 

ALOT OF FAKE ZIPPO LIGHTER'S HAVE BEEN SPOTTED ON AUCTION SITES, PLEASE BE ADVISED! SOME SELLER'S ARE TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK...BEWARE

ALSO, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE BUYING OLD ZIPPO LIGHTERS AND THEN ADDING VIETNAM PICTURES OR ENGRAVINGS TO THE LIGHTER AND THEN LISTING IT ON EBAY.  (THIS INFLATES THE SELLERS PROFIT) IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR, PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS SCAM!

DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!
