That was a lot of work to restore a lighter.  Nice video.

True but think of the significance of the piece, its falling point in history.

It didn't mention where was the lighter found.  Any idea where?

Nice job, but... patina means a lot on something historical.  Rather than restore it to working condition and making it look like a bunch of other reproductions I'd let it sit in a mixture of 1:1 white vinegar and water to clean off the corrosion and leave it alone rather than torching it and sand blasting,,,  My 2 cents...

It shows a map in the first 16 sec.

Normandy.  That is for sure a keeper.  With the condition it was when it was found and to see the finished product is just impressive.  The guy in the video truly has skills.
