      Sangwoo was located at Naha, Okinawa. I think they would have sold lots of these unbranded Japanese lighters with many different USAF/US Army/US Navy/USMC insignia added. I like it.

      It's real, Cold War, NOP "Keepers of the Dragon"   Marine Corps Nuclear Role The marine corps maintains no nuclear weapons of its own in peacetime. During hostilities, the navy would transfer air-delivered weapons to the Marine Wing Weapons Unit in charge of nuclear weapons. Nuclear artillery and atomic demolition munitions would be delivered to the nuclear ordnance platoon of the Marine Division for use by marine ground forces. The marine corps has two aircraft and several types of amphibious ships which are certified to carry nuclear warheads. As in the army, the marine corps views nuclear weapons as an extension of conventional forces rather than as an independent capability.     "We can neither confirm nor deny..." (I still recall the entire quote which I would deliver to reporters, civilians, looky-loos, and loons}   EXTRACT page 87 - Standardization of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Defense within the Fleet Marine Force (FMF). b .

      Nice Official information. Interesting that the gray for grenades as of May 1926 was referred to as Battleship Gray.
