如何辨别真假Zippo?
[翻译 by Cherno]

翻译自lightertricks.com的一篇文章，虽然我们这里也有很多关于这个话题的帖子，不过我们也可以看看老外是怎么识别的。
后面附上原文,如果有什么翻译的不对的地方,请告诉我,万分感谢!
注意，字母标注是和图片对应的。


a) 由于采用便宜的材料，所以和正版Zippo比较起来，仿冒品经常会轻些。
b) 铰链边上的盖子经常切掉太多，以至于经常留下比较大空隙
c) 铰链的节一般比原装的短
d) 火轮铆钉颜色错误 - 铁锈红 - 因为用了铜材料
e) 凸轮铆钉颜色错误 - 铁锈红 - 因为用了铜材料
f) 凸轮要不是铁锈红色(铜),要不就太亮
g) 容纳火石的管子太细
h) 如果火石是红色,那么是假的
i) 仿冒火机的底部的印迹通常比较浅,而且经常是错误的代码. 在一些仿冒品上写着: Bradford "RA",而不是 "PA".
j) 毡垫的质量比较差而且没有加油孔(refill hole) (当前的Zippo型号有这个孔) , 毡垫上没有打印 lift to refill

用你的耳朵来识别
一般假冒的Zippo都是使用比较便宜的材料制造, 造成了与正版的Zippo声音不同. 可以通过比较一个正版Zippo和你怀疑假冒的Zippo的声音来识别, 听一听下面两种声音的不同:


正版Zippo声音
仿冒品的声音


原文 (http://lightertricks.com/collector/zipporippo/rippo2.php)：
a)  Overall cheaper material. When compared with an authentic the Rippo will most likely weigh less. b)  The cutout in the lid to fit the hinges are too big leaving an empty gap of space. c)  The joints in the hinges are often smaller than on the original. d)  The flint wheel rivet has wrong color - rusty red - due to use of copper material. e)  The cam rivet has wrong color - rusty red - due to use of copper.  f)  It's either rusty red (copper), or too shiny. g)  The screw attached to the flint spring is too small. h)  If the flint is red, it's a fake. i) The impression on the bottom of counterfeit lighter is more shallow and often with an incorrect code. On some fakes it says: "Bradford RA, instead of PA. j)  The felt pad is of poor quality and lack the refill hole (on current models). The felt pad lack the imprinted "lift to refill".

Let your ears be the judge
Common for all fake Zippos are the use of cheaper materials. This affects the unmistakeable sound of the Zippo. To spot a fake compare the sound of a potential fake with an authentic when opening the lid. Check out the difference on these two sound clips:

The sound of a Rippo

原文作者:

The Saint (The Netherlands) got hooked on collecting Zippos when a Zippo was presented to him as a gift at early age. From that point on The Saint has been hunting high and low for the next addition to his ever-growing collection of Zippos.
