【Product Details】
This ZIPPO lighter is an extremely valuable item manufactured in commemoration of the U.S. Navy's river division 531, a river patrol boat unit that was active during the Vietnam War. Commonly known as the "Delta Dragons," this unit engaged in operations in the Mekong River basin, and their bravery has inspired many war movies.

This item was sold exclusively at the PX (commissary for soldiers) at the time, and has a unique etched design. The design, carefully carved in detail by hand by local craftsmen, is extremely rare for a wartime ZIPPO lighter, giving it a special presence.

Since the vintage ZIPPO boom of the 1990s, ZIPPO with such a special history has been highly valued by collectors around the world. This item is considered extremely rare not only in Japan but also on overseas auction and sales sites, and its value is soaring.

[About the condition]
This item is unused and has some slight scratches and dirt due to age, but is in good condition overall. It has been confirmed that flint sparks, but ignition has not yet been confirmed. I am giving it away to an enthusiast to organize my collection.
