I went to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand last year. Every market, large and small, had several vendor's with hundreds of these fake lighters. Every museum had a pile too, Ho Chi Minh museum, what's left of the Hanoi Hilton: all the same. I saw tens of thousands, almost all brass color. Most had inscriptions on the lid, and many with naughty sayings. All mosern fakes. The lighters I see online with glued on devices are also modern fakes. Beware collectors.
