About a year ago I received a call from a lady who was referred to me through a friend. Her husband was a US Army helicopter mechanic during the Vietnam war. I have seen numerous fake Vietnam Zippos but when I'm buying from the estate, my comfort level is way up there. I found these lighters while digging through one of his personal trinket boxes. There wasn't much left from his personal items but I bought a photo album with pictures of him and his buddies with lots of Vietnamese women. I bought some period uniform tops and his dog tags too but the lighters were the best from the group. Unfortunately, smoking and drinking took his life way too soon. Both lighters are from Dong Ba Thin, have Paul's initials and manufactured in 1968.
