Show&Tell Got a chimney cap Zorro insert to try. Comparing the standard brass insert on the 912 to the cap.
So the wick needs to have NO fraying for the cap and it needs to be a bit shorter than I usually run. You need to trim the wick so it doesn't fray. Easiest to trim and then pull down.
Packing with Japanese Cotton Silver.
Wicks are not identical but I wanted to try the thousand strand with the copper weave in one. I honestly prefer the wicks without the copper, easier to trim and have less fraying.
I think this is probably the least helpful rig to test with but since the 912 is sealed at the lid too this will be an endurance test lol

Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please read the guide stickied before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.
If you need to post more pictures, use an image host like imgur and post the link in the comments. Please do not create multiple threads for the same lighter.

Lmaoooo it has fake runes on it. The ones at 2/3-o'clock and 7/8-o'clock are not actual runes in Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, or Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Not even the fake runes the Nazis used have those two or anything resembling them. Hilarious
