Zippo lighter restoration from The Vietnam War Đa krông Post 1973-1974 with soldiers AWESOME hidden massage engraved in to it. Today I restore and repair an awesome lighter from Vietnam with a US Army Airborne Paratrooper Jump Wings Badge attached to is.
This Zippo lighter is a ground found from Đa krông in the Quảng Trị Province in the North Central Coast region of Vietnam. It was sent to me to restore from one of my friends in Asia.

RESTORATION PROCESS
I used a little squeeze of WD40 rust remover to loosen things up. The inner case was stuck in the zippo bottom case, so I used my new custom tool to loosen those two parts from each other. I washed the inner and outer case in soapwater. Some Beautiful hand engraved inscriptions showed up on the lighter. I cleaned the inside lighter case in the sandblaster with low air pressure and I used white virgin aluminum oxide.
I heat treated the Zippo inner case to achieve a beautiful brown matt army color. I added the classic peace sign with my laser engraving machine. I also polished the case and lid to mirror blank. Finally I cleaned the Army Airborne Paratrooper Jump Wings decal in 12% vinegar and gave it a nice antique silver plating. I attached it to the Zippo with modern glue…sorry.
HIDDEN MESSAGE ON THE LIGHTER
VIETNAM DA KRONG 73-74
WHEN I DIE BURY
ME FACE DOWN
SO THE WHOLE WORLD
CAN KISS MY **

the winged parachute is jump school wings indicating that the person has qualified to jump. It is not exclusive to the Army but anyone from any service who completes the school and qualifies to jump can wear them. Da Krong is a place (like Da Nang).

@AwesomeRestorations 2 года назад

@IamChevalier Год назад

My uncle carried a zippo very similar to the one your are restoring - I beleive the symbol/logo signifies the previous owner was Airborne - the most famous being the 82nd - but the 101st is also pretty famous. As #Dave mentions, it could mean the prev owner carried the Airborne qualification and was part of another unit - all MACV-SOG operators were Airborne qualified, but belonged to Army SpecForces. My uncle was ForceRecon Marines in Vietnam 67-70 operating in CCN (as far as I can tell)

@sam1812seal 3 года назад

At first I thought the same thing but I don’t believe it’s a US military issue one. I could be wrong but all the issued ones I’ve seen have been engraved and enamelled with the unit/ship/base insignia and not had anything bonded to them. Perhaps this was made as a gift from a US serviceman to an ARVN one?

@@AwesomeRestorations there are also two other types of jump wings the US Army and Air Force give. The one from the lighter is the one you get once you complete the basic paratrooper course and 5 jumps, then there’s the senior parachutist badge (which looks just like the one on the lighter but with a star on top) which requires the basic paratrooper course, the jumpmaster course (which is a more advanced course) 30 jumps and you have to have been with an airborne unit for 24 months. Then the Master Parachutist Badge (which is just like the one on the lighter but has a star encircled in a Laurel wreath) requires the basic course, jumpmaster course, 65 jumps and have been with an airborne unit for 36 months.

The emblem you removed with the utility knife is a paratrooper wing. This lighter must have belonged to an Airborne jumper.

This made me cry. I grew up during the Viet Nam era, and this lighter would have been the pride of a paratrooper. I wonder at the story it would tell.

Erasing the history of war is not cool, when you do that our history is lost and, in the long run, forgotten and people will not be able to look at us and learn from these mistakes

I also appreciate the peace sign. Americans have fought so many wars, American troops were killed and many more innocent civilians. Generations of entire regions have been affected. I wish we can go forward to the future in peace. (I am American)

@brendanking6110 3 года назад

Nice job, however considering the treatment of returning vets by the peace movement of the time, I feel the laser engraved peace symbol is a mistake. Anyhow, very good.

@CoyoteKin 3 года назад

Ok, I was starting to think that I was the only bothered by this.

@dog3y3 3 года назад

@@CoyoteKin no. Little bit of a slap in the face. But i understand. And also, not all vets were against the peace movement. Many started at the beginning of the police action thinking they might actually prevent a war. I think many were mistreated, and misunderstood. Nice restoration. I did cringe when he put fire to the emblem. I thought for sure it would melt or distort.

@ewokgrl 3 года назад

Totally agree! After hearing the stories of my dad's old platoon I'm sure all of them would be perturbed and several would speak out pretty viciously too. They give no sh!ts letting their feelings be known about the war and how they were treated when they finally came home.

@jaymcquillen 3 года назад

This was exactly my thoughts. I've seen other comments "its his", or "its hidden and you don't see it so its fine" and what not. But the historical story involved with that lighter are conflicting with the peace sign and the movement associated. Yes, its his, but I believe it would have been better without.

@lelexoxo303 3 года назад

The peace sign stands by itself, it is not merely a representation of the movement, it actually came before the 68 movement. Like legit, I'm pretty sure most soldiers fighting in the Vietnam war would have preferred peace themselves.
