Home Army/PSZnZ Lighters "Sabotażówka" Postwar Production - Warsaw Insurgent Jerzy Jeżewski

A "sabotage" lighter modeled after an occupation production lighter. Taking its design from the occupation period, looking at the mechanism of operation, one can certainly assume that the design was taken from a wartime design. The lighter was manufactured in occupied Germany or Great Britain. It bears the signatures "FOR PAT.apply.for" on the sides.
During the occupation, the so-called "sabotage lighter" was created - an underground lighter, reminiscent of a 1930s radio. It was made mainly of aluminum and available materials, often homemade. It had two flints for greater reliability, although there were also simplified versions - with one flint or a double fuel tank. Along with the STEN and Lightning submachine guns, it was one of the most recognizable items of the occupation underground.
