THIRD REICH LIGHTERS
There were a variety of lighters made in Germany during the Third Reich and the two we are offering here are perfectly typical of the lighters used by Wehrmacht troops in the field, in combat and on leave. They are small, sel-contained pocket lighters which work on the same principal as American lighters of the World War II period.
The larger of the two lighters (left) has the name Leitz stamped into the knurled, threaded top cap. The body and both threaded caps of this lighter are machined from solid aluminum stock. The whole thing is in very nice, very lightly used original condition.

The smaller of the two lighters (right) consists of a steel body and two bright metal caps that slip over it. It is in very nice, lightly used condition.
Lighters like these can be found in all good World War II European museums and in books like Deutsche Soldaten - Uniforms, Equipment & Personal Items of the German Soldier 1939-1945 by Augustin Saiz.
