: : I received one from Indy Magnoli about a month ago, and it is exactly as portrayed in the Last Crusade. There is no difference, no 'lucky' printed on it anywhere. the only writing is the embossed Zippo logo and info on the bottom of the lighter. The design is just like Elsa's lighter. It is a re-issue from Zippo, and not a homemade reproduction. Chow.

: : P.S. Indy Magnoli said he was selling them through December for around $35. Ask him for details.
: I wonder if Zippo made more than one style of these. There is one on Ebay,item #43474208. They say it is a Zippo as well, but it has 'lucky' on it. There is also the possibility that Indy Magnoli had custom ones made by Zippo, a modified version of this one, maybe? Or could this one be a fake?
Yes,I've seen their four-leaf clover series, with "Luck" and "lucky" and such written on them. But, indeed, Zippo did do an exact copy of the Last Crusade lighter, which I have. Ask Indy Magnoli for details.
