I own the nickel plated Zippo pattern corresponding to this standard Zippo. Identical visual appearance. But as touching the "Venetian" Nickel is softer, smoother, touch this standard Zippo is unpleasant, the "Venetian" superimposed pattern is etched, it is rough, which Disappointingly contrast with the elegance this ground. After that is a Zippo lighter, and thus functions as a Zippo should work: no surprises from that side. But what a disappointment, nevertheless, to discover this way of burning a look very "cheap" on a Zippo!
