Beautiful restoration! My grandfather on my mothers side was career navy .30 years in the service. He would of really enjoyed this ! 4 of my great cousins died in the Pearl Harbor attack .
From my experience it is rare to see someone who doesn't live in the U.S. take such pride and care in restoration of old items like this. Thank you so much.
... From one American to another... I have slept on beds in Europe and Asia that are older than our country man. The United States doesn't have a monopoly on restoration... This item isn't even a hundred years old, that is essentially a blip in the history of many of the nations on the earth.
Indeed it is a U.S. Navy Officer's crest. Amazing find, and certainly another "Awesome Restoration" Martin! The care, indeed reverence you show these old pieces of art is admirable for sure. Thanks again as always for sharing your work and videos with us brother. God bless. Rev. D.
To all my fellow veterans and members of the United States Navy, Happy New Year. I trust you enjoyed this restoration as much as I did. TO the craftsman and artist that owns this channel and does this beautiful work: _Thank you_ . I do not know if you understand the emotional and spiritual impact your videos often have on many People. But I am grateful for your work, expertise, and diligence. And more than that, for your generosity in sharing the experience with us. God bless you and yours. Fair winds and following seas, friend. ⚓🔱🇺🇸
@@AwesomeRestorations I knew you wouldn't respond. Coward opportunist. You should be ashamed at exploiting this icon of courage and sacrifice, things you probably have no understanding of.
I love how you take something old and tarnished and bring it back to a beautiful look with honor and pride. Really good job. The badge on the front is the Navy crest. I was in the Army but my grandpa and my aunt were both in the Navy and two of my cousins are currently serving in the Navy. One of them is an officer. Thank you for honoring all the branches of our military with your restorations. It truly makes me and so many others proud to see this.
Holy smoke! This restoration video is truly one-of-a-kind. To see an extremely rare lighter from World War II, especially one that has a connection to Pearl Harbor in 1941, is a truly remarkable experience. Your attention to detail and skill in bringing this piece back to life is truly impressive. Thanks for sharing this piece of history with us, and keep up the great work!
Oh Martin, this is an incredible restoration again ! I love lighter restorations, especialy when they have an wonderful history. Again a great work ! Continue to dream us my friend ;)
I've never seen a bad restoration or boring video on this channel. The outcome is always breathtaking and satisfying to watch. Thank you for all the amazing video's!!!
Dude I love this channel. It’s like a modern day Bob Ross vibe. And thank you for adding the step by step procedures. I’m not in metal work at all, but I like knowing what you’re doing to the pieces. Who knows, maybe I’ll get inspired?? 🤘
I'm completely blown away. The before and after shots are literally like night and day! They don't even look like the same lighter! Great job and incredible video! :)
Martin, another great restoration video! It shows how someone with the passion, skill, knowledge, and tools can truly bring these old artifacts back to life. As a veteran I salute you!
What another awesome restoration by you Martin. I love the passion you put into all your restorations as it shows by the finished result. Much love & hugs from Australia.
Great, gorgeous, excellent! This is the good old-school style of your earlier videos. And thus you seem to truly honour this beautiful treasure of history
The emblem or insignia appears to be the one either a US Navy Chief Petty Officer (enlisted) or Naval officer would have on their service cap or headgear. Phenomenal work yet again Martin.
Your skill and devotion lift the spirits of so many. It is always beautiful to see something lost and neglected be brought back to life and fit for purpose once more.
Absolutely amazing. I’m sure the person who sent it to be restored by you is ecstatic over the results, and enjoyed watching your process. I love your videos.
I just saw a video by internet anarchist claiming a lot of restoration videos are faked… some of the clips he used seemed to be from your videos even though he never called you out directly. I don’t want to believe it’s true since I think you are incredibly skilled as a craftsman. Have you considered making a response?
I'm very impressed. Not only by the restoration of this magnificent piece of history, but also with the care and concern you put into it. I've been a subscriber for a while to your channel and fly usually comment but felt the need to on this one. Please keep up the good work.
I think your videos are just stunning. I can really relate to those videos as a German that’s interested into world history. It’s just amazing what a huge skillset you have! Sometimes I am also restoring thinks that I find... but they never get so great as I use more kind off low quality tools... but this will change for sure. I should by some good restoration tools 😂
many thanks I am really glad you like my videos. You should buy some better tools I think you will find it very satisfying to do some really nice restorations :)
Dear Sir, Your this restoration made me to see your channel again and again, fantastic keep it up, I wish you every success in your future restorations. Thank you.

@AwesomeRestorations ever thought about doing a little restoration series where u could do bigger objects and break it down over multiple videos from beginning to end? Showing each step u take in the process. Ur videos r already awesome with all the hidden gems in them.

@@rajbalayadav4371 its oxidized Copper...... Elementary school
Oxidized brass……
@@tonylewis1803 yes, copper, as a component of brass, is which cause this greenish oxidation. Its copper carbonate btw.
