You are bidding on a very interesting item. It is a C1920's FRENCH WIND PROOF LIGHTER-SPLENDID FLAM PARE - FLAMME DEPOSE BREVETTE SGDG. The French TAX PLAQUE dates to after 1927 I think. There is no flint, I think the mechanism needs a clean(it is not stuck though) & there is some wear to the plating so it is sold as spares or repairs. I would describe it in FAIR condition at best. PLEASE look at the photos especially carefully & satisfy yourself as to condition & what you are biddin...g on. PLEASE note that I am not an expert on this type of thing though. Your comments would be welcomed & added to the listing. Approx 40g unpacked. Approx 62mm in length. PLEASE see the detailed photos that form part of the description and ask any questions that you have BEFORE you bid especially about condition or overseas postage. PLEASE also look at my other listings for similar interesting items. THANKS for looking and good luck if you decide to bid. Please note the 1st postage is for the UK (France & Europe will be £4.80). The overseas postage shown is for Australia. So please ask for your specific Country. I am willing to combine purchases where possible normally meaning a reduction in the cost of posting multiple items.
