Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:623383 | Modified Item: No |
Type: Cigarette Lighters | Country/Region of Manufacture: Austria |
Sub-Type: Pocket Lighters | Material: Metal |
Brand: Regd - Ges.Geschutz |
Marked: Ges.Geschutzt
Semi / automatic with good finger pull spring.
Flint wheel / lid " spring " is broken and " filler screw missing "
I will include an original period pack of 100 flints of "Original Auermetall" see my listing where i have them for sale.
Untested but see no reason why it ...wouldn't work once the spring is replaced and is fuelled up.
There was another identical one of these Tommy Gu- n lighters sold on the 4th June 2019 here on ebay, that one had "made in Austria" on it, this one does NOT which means it is earlier, the one that sold had the case / lid pins redone due to the item being taken apart to repair the spring as far as I can see, my one is still Totally untouched and ORIGINAL. (see the differences) .
There is a simple way to remove the pins to repair the spring and re do the pins so the end's look identical to the original finish, so check out Marty's Matchbox Makeovers on youtube - he has a simple method to do the pins / axles on his dinky restorations.. his method would be ideal for this item and would take n0 more than 20 mins or so.
Condition representative of the images so please look carefully.
Overall good condition given it's long life..but please expect handling use and wear etc. (Refer to images)
