This is a standard brass Zippo, polished finish, so a superb build quality and virtually indestructible unless run over. Sold at an attractive price. I put four stars because we have a small disappointment "feel" of the Zippo Venetian Brass which is a bit "rough". The cause is due to the raised paint which gives a front / back burning aspect to this Venetian model.
Indeed this model brass version is not engraved but painted. Delivered very quickly in its standard box Zippo presentation with documentation in several languages including French and manufactured in Bradford, PA - USA in December 2013. Marking "L 13" under the lighter. Zippo Reference: "REG 850049 BRASS VENETIA". Weight 55 grams.
