Offered on eBay Italy as a regular Venetian model 352. Its floral engraving differs significantly from a documented authentic Venetian pattern, and the case bottom has no Zippo manufacturer/date stamp. The packaging appears potentially authentic but has not been independently verified.

Claimed date: Not dated by the source. A claimed stamp date is NOT a verified production date.

Source: In Quiet Detail · Photo copyright: Not specified in supplied source.

These examples are classified as counterfeits by the supplying collector. The classification has not been independently authenticated for every photograph. Similarities alone do not establish the authenticity of another lighter.
