Nickel Silver Fisherman

A rare nickel silver zippo with fisherman engraved on its front. Based on its height and bottom stamp (different from usual tall case), this lighter is suspected to be from early 1947, chrome plated nickel silver, with almost all of its chrome faded. Having its original 3 barrel hinge replaced by a 5 barrel, this denotes that the repair should be done in late 1949 onwards. Thus the repair box might not be the original box which comes with the lighter.
