A very cool personal item here. This lighter was manufactured during the Korean War era or immediately afterwards by Royal Star (of Japan, as clearly marked on the bottom) and sold as a souvenir to US troops. It features the insignia of the US Army 707th Maintenance Battalion. Shows honest wear from use.
