Restoring World War II Bullet Lighter - Antique Lighter Restoration & Repair

- Restoration of a homemade gasoline bullet lighter created in world war II. These lighters were made by the soldiers themselves from casings and bullets from used cartridges, flint and wick. This lighter lay in the ground for a long time at the site of the battle, until it was found using a metal detector. This video shows the entire restoration process.

Thanks for the video from the Morocco
Hello Morocco! Glad you liked it!
@@rustyrussian230 excellent travail magnifique
Конец видео обалденный! Как видеообои на комп, он был бы идеален! На огонь можно смотреть вечно.
В серед.50-х школьником владел такою...В будущем имел разные(австрийск.,японск.,"зиппо",кит.-портсигар-зажигалка)...Интересное видео,сам процесс восстановления.Спасибо !
Середина 50х)).. да давно было дело))
Это практически непосредственно с театра военных действий! Многие не понимают, что когда подобные вещи изготавливать, они были не только утилитаными, но и новыми, и хотят, чтобы они оставались в патине, а я предпочитаю взгляд современника, а не потомка.
И Вам спасибо!
outstanding work there pal
Давно мечтал увидеть так поэтапно. Видел ещё в детстве у ветерана. Хотелось бы и себе сделать.
Да, реставрировал и представлял как другие руки делали эту зажигалку во время войны из боевых патронов
Very nice restoration
Thank!! Don't forget to subscribe !!)) 😄
Beautiful
Nice one!. Another piece of history restored.
Davvero complimenti.
Молодец! Думаю, деды оценили бы...👍
Спасибо!
Belle restauration ,bravo.
Un grand merci!!!
I can't help but feel like the handler just buffed the story right out of the artefact...what i meant is that original blue patina on this? -super nice and only deposits itself with age. Can a true restoration be done where the patina remains intact and the relic is bought back to life? That would be a restoration. This is now no different than a brand new piece. There were even replaced parts where the originals could have still been used.
Still an interesting vid to watch and the trench art bullet lighter will be around for another few generations. Good job on showing how to replace the fundamentals and saving another piece👍
Wow! That is beautiful! :)
Thank you, very nice!!!
Wow. That's a excelent work dude. I like the passion of people who can do this kind of things.
Thank you, my friend! I'm very glad you liked it!! There will still be interesting pieces of iron, subscribe!
Very Nice! Congratulations. Here Brazil.
Thanks!! Hello Brazil!!!
КРАСАВА!!! СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО!!!
Спасибо, родной))
wait these are real? i though metro just wanted a cool prop
Yes, friend, this is a real lighter from the second world war!!
Looks like the brass from two 8mm rounds, & one 9mm parabellum. I froze the video at different points, but couldn't read any of the headstamps.
Yes, it looks like it, but unfortunately, I can't say for sure. There are too many options for marking cartridges.
The rifle cartridges are 7.92×57mm Mauser and judging by the marking "P207" on the headstamp, they were manufactured by Metallwerk Odertal GmbH, Odertal. Did not see the headstamp on the pistol casing but is likely 9mm parabellum as you say.
@@bronxcheer031 Thanks for the accurate information! 👍
Well done!
عمل رائع..أحسنت
شكراً جزيلاً!!
It's funny how perspective works... it looked a lot bigger in the still of it lying there, and only when you picked it up did I realize it's actual size.
Yes, it is not always possible to determine the true size from a photo. Everything is learned in comparison))
Nice refurbishing project, but I doubt it was from WWII. I could make them with empty rifle brass and a pistol brass. But nice anyway. Thumbs Up!
Thank you for your appreciation of my work!! I am not a historian, and I also did not submit this object for historical examination. Therefore, the specified production period is an assumption, but all data indicate that this is the work of the second world war period. Thank you again and good luck!!!
Хорошее дело ты сделал комрад предмету жизнь вернул ,вещь красивая с историей глаз радует.
Спасибо тебе, здоровья удачи и прухи под катухой.
С приветом и уважением из Беларуси.
Спасибо, дружище! Рад что понравилось!
У этой зажигалки должно быть четыре гильзы....То чего упустил рестовратор...
Très beau travail, félicitations 👍
Merci, très agréable!!! Je vais essayer!
Awesome! But after all that we never got to see it work! Does it light itself?
Thank you, I'm glad that you liked my work!! Yes, the lighter works, I regret that I cut out a spark from the film)
Crosspoint screw?
And always wondered where the wheels come from
In this form, I already got a lighter ...
the flint Wheel comes from a set of spare parts zippo
Kindly mention the make and model of the grinding machine
I'm glad you liked it! All links in the description
Good job, lad! -A fine example.
I particularly like the sturdy spark-wheel and flint assembly of this piece. The soldier who originally fashioned this lighter did an excellent job on the spark/flint apparatus. 'Did you make a new spark wheel? Uwe the original? Take one from a BIC? Spark wheels are almost impossible to make from scratch. The last patent for one was from Gillette in 1974 and they are not simple! -Probably for the disposable BIC.
I own a Russian trench lighter -WWI . Oddly made from a Webley .455
Enthusiasts:
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE TRENCH LIGHTER UPON WHICH YOU ARE WORKING DOES NOT CONTAIN A LIVE PRIMER. Occasionally, soldiers crafted these lighters from UNUSED rounds with live primers. It is extremely unlikely that a live primer in a trench lighter would ignite; still, it could spoil your fag, cigar, pipe, day, week, life (check one).
It sure got shiny. But what a shame to ruin such a nice patina. Now it just looks new.
Yes, but when this lighter was made, it was new and shiny))) and i am sure that its owner, who is probably no longer in this world, would also like it to be brilliant in his memory!
Cool video, but as others have said, I, too, would have liked to have seen it actually work.
.
I'll fix it in the following videos)) There is already something to work on, there is only no time))
any chance anyone knows where I could get one of these..I def have no skill to make one
Don't worry, everything is in our hands!!!
@@rustyrussian230 thats cool, but where can I get one...
Великая отечественная война,а не вторая мировая.
Bullet lighter
thanks 👍
А точно вторая мировая. Просто шуруп крест. Смущает очень.
Объект достался мне в таком виде... Сложно сказать определенно
@@rustyrussian230 И резьба у шурупа самореза современная .
Also, ich weiß nicht wie antik das Teil mit heisskleber und Kreuzschlitz Schrauben sein soll. Hier werden wir verarscht.
In dieser Form bekam ich dieses Artefakt. Ich bin viel weniger Jahre alt als er und ich konnte bei allem Wunsch seine ganze Geschichte nicht verfolgen und persönlich bestätigen. Arbeitete mit dem, was war
Was ne verarsc.... wenn das ww2 ist dann. ....
