    Vietnam war era army military vintage lighter cover Rung Sat bronze/gold color
    The Vietnam War was the second longest in U.S. history.  The Americans failed to achieve a military victory and the Republic of South Vietnam whom the Americans were fighter for, was finally taken over by the North Vietnam army.
    As with all wars, nobody wins. American loss tens of thousands of lives in this war with a few hundred thousand more injured in combat. The casualties for Vietnamese people (military and civilians) were also very heavy with numbers reaching to the hundreds of thousands.
    It remains a very controversial topic that continues to affect military and political decisions until today.
    The item on sale is a vintage quality lighter cover. This item is from the Vietnam war era. The front of the lighter has the inscriptions "Rung Sat 73 - 74", which was one of Viet Cong strong military bases.
    Rung Sat Special Zone was the name given during the Vietnam War by the South Vietnam Government and US forces to a large area of the Sác Forest. This was also known as the "Forest of Assassins".
    Due to the difficult conditions for ground attacks within this zone, the Viet Cong regarded this as a safe area.
    However from 1965 onwards the US forces began clearing the area, thus weakening the Viet Cong's stronghold.
    On the back of the lighter are these words inscribed, "Killing for peace was like f*cking for virginity". This has to be one of my favourite inscriptions.
    There are light scratches on the cover as expected from normal wear and tear. The hinge of the cover works well and the lighter cover lid closes nicely. This cover will fit a zippo model lighter insert.
    This item for sale is a replica and it is gold/bronze in colour. It has a nice shinny finish and makes a good collectible.
