Just because it has the Marine Corps emblem (the EGA) on it and even if it was made during that time doesn't at all mean it was over there or had anything to do with it, so why would you put that in the video title? And do some research next time. The EGA should be black. (I'm a Marine.)

    Due to the design of the lighter and the Marine Emblem on it I would say that there's a good chance that this dates from World War ONE and not Two. The U.S. Marines only had a minimal participation at Normandy (Sharpshooters blowing up Mines etc.) and it could be possible that this lighter was from someone's relative from WW1 and if they were a Marine and dropped it they were part of a very very select few and it might be possible to Trace who it belonged to if they were a U.S. Marine.

    My Dad was in the US Marines and as, was the case with many of the WWII generation, he was a heavy smoker; sadly. He's been gone 28 years and I still miss him dearly. He never had such a fancy lighter but I know he'd be very impressed with your skilled workmanship. Thank you for restoring what others would have tossed; your skills are truly extraordinarily amazing !!!!! I had to re-watch the end several times !!

      Guy finds objects puts them in vinegar for a few weeks to make them look old if that lighter was real and had been exposed to the elements it would have been dust by now. this is a popular scam atm take found items make them took old and "restore" them. its similar the the "found" pets type video just preying on gullible people.
