A Unique Petrol Lighter Restored from World War II

Restoration of a unique lighter. Today I am restoring a special lighter from the Second World War. It was created by a Russian soldier, from improvised means, during the siege of Leningrad, which lasted 872 days.

It was a very difficult time. The main food for people was bread. The daily norm for workers is 250 grams, for other residents 125 grams!!!(☹) When the grain supply ran out, sawdust was added to the flour to add volume, and then paper.

I don't think we can now imagine what life was like in the besieged city.

The relatives of this soldier gave me this lighter for restoration.
I did not betray her modern gloss, I tried to keep all the old patina. Even the flint wheel worked, so I kept that as well.

I really liked the result of my work, and I hope you do too!
