Hi just added some trench art lighters photos, there is a zippo, with a German coin & British coin on, most are park shermans.
I would like to put a question ? out there, all the ronsons are USA made, with British badges on I have a few more, who added the badges on, were the lighters send to the uk ?, and then I am thinking the badges were added here, it gives someone work during the war, and ronson make money .
I would think most were done by the individual solider , personalized as he saw fit .
Some of the British example you show carry Sweetheart pins soldered on.
There probably was some canteen lighters with badges , but I'd think is was the minority .
Thank you for sharing your lovely collection , welcome to the forum hope you enjoy your time here .
