12th rrs squadron lighter

[Bigfoot]

I bought this lighter about 15 years ago at a small militaria shop for $5. I almost instantly lost it. Last week while visiting my moms house for Easter, she found it in a junk drawer in the kitchen. It made my day! It is lighter for the 12th airforce radio relay squadron, from Pforzheim, Germany dated 1957. Slightly stouter that a zippo it appears to be silver plated brass. It appears to work, but needs a new flint. Zippo flints aren't wide enough, and get stuck cockeyed in the holder. Quote on the side reads, "a way must be found." I did a little research on google and found a yahoo veteran's site for the unit, and also this site,http://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?http&&&www.usarmygermany.com/USAFE%20TACS%204.htm pretty interesting. Heres some pics.
