It is a Zippo chromed brass with fully satin finish, in a beautiful build quality and virtually indestructible. A quality metal plate is attached to the front of the lighter and is a mythical animal since ancient times, the griffin half-eagle, half lion. As is often the case, this lighter is more beautiful than the photo presentation (Many more relief).
