Zippo lighter restoration from The Vietnam war Ba Ria Post year 1972-1973. Today I restore and repair an awesome lighter from Vietnam with a Red Cross combat MEDIC badge attached to is.
This Zippo lighter is a metal detector ground found from Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province in Vietnam. It has been partially buried in mud and sand when he found it. It was sent to me by one of my metal detector friends from Vietnam.

RESTORATION PROCESS
I always start with WD40 rust remover. Just to loosen things up. The inner case was stuck in the zippo bottom case as usual, so I was forced to use fire and a hammer to loosen those two parts from each other. I washed inner/outer case in soap and alcohol and found some beautiful inscriptions on the lighter.
The inside case was damaged, so I had to repair it with a little heat treatment. I used the home-made mini tumbler (as usual) to clean the small parts. I cleaned the inside lighter case in the sandblaster with low air pressure and I used white virgin aluminium oxide.
I heat treated the inside Zippo case to achieve a beautiful brown Matt army color. I polished the case and lid to mirror blank and added the Red Cross combat medic badge.
INSCRIPTION ON THE LIGHTER
The inscription on the lighter is
VIETNAM BA RIA 72-73
WAR STOP PEOPLE
SO WHY DON’T
PEOPLE STOP WAR

Yep, I’ve got a Zippo lighter that I found while in the US Marines. I was sleeping on the floor at an airport during a flight layover, on my way to a duty station. I woke up and saw it under a bench or something, it was brushed gold… I put it in my pocket and always carried it with me during the remainder of my service, I still have it now. I think it’s actually one of the few things is still have from my time in the service. Hmm, good memories, thanks for this video! Semper Fi

Sick truth of it all here. I used to work for a corp that made them here in USA!

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.

My grandpa was a Vietnam veteran and when he died in 1979 in a motorcycle accident he had a custom zippo lighter with his nickname engraved into it on him and it’s crazy how clean it is after over 40 years.

@zachlee94 4 жыл бұрын

My dad is a Vietnam vet also. He has a Zippo with a map of Vietnam on it with his last name. It doesn’t work (I think we need a new flint for it) but it sits on his study shelf. It’s also really clean. It’s cool cause it has the little piece that shoots the flame downwards for lighting pipes.

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.
