The lighter in the pictures is the exact lighter you will receive.
This is a Thorens semi-automatic pocket lighter manufactured in Switzerland. This is the "single claw" model, which entered production in approximately 1918, and was protected by Swiss patent in 1919.
Pressing the button releases the catch, allowing the spring-loaded top to snap open. As it does so, the claw engages the spark wheel, rotating it to stroke the flint. ...Please note that this unit is missing the spark wheel and flint.
