Vintage Luxury Lighter in Solid 925 Silver – “Lift Arm” Mechanism – “A” and “V” Markings – Arezzo, Italy We offer for auction a rare collector’s item: a vintage pocket lighter, made entirely of solid silver (Sterling Silver 925). This piece is a remarkable example of the craftsmanship of Italian artisans from the famous gold-mining district of Arezzo, most likely produced in the 70s-80s. The design is classic and elegant, inspired by the iconic models of the great luxury houses (Dunhill, Cartier). Solid silver, certified by the official “925” hallmark visible on the case. Marked with the provincial symbol “AR”, confirming the manufacture in Arezzo, Italy, a center of excellence in the processing of precious metals. Engravings on the base: The lighter bears the specific inscriptions “A” and “V”. The letter "V" indicates the design of the case with "Vertical" lines (Pinstripe or Gordons style), and the letter "A" attests to the quality of "Argento" (Silver).   Elegant body with fine vertical grooves, which provide a special reflection of the light and a comfortable grip. The lighter is perfectly functional. The "Lift Arm" mechanism (mobile arm) works smoothly, and the flame is stable and clean (see test photos).   It works on gas and is rechargeable. It has a precision wheel for adjusting the flame height. Piece preserved in very good vintage condition. It presents an authentic natural patina, which gives it character and confirms the age of the silver. It does not present deep dents or scratches. Mechanism type: Footlight and mobile arm. Style: Luxury / Business / Collector's item. This lighter is not only a functional accessory, but also an investment in precious metal and a piece of European design history. It is ideal for collectors of high-quality tobacco accessories or lovers of silver art objects.
