I recently mentioned that I had acquired another deeply engraved Zippo (non-Armor) from the early 2000s that reminded me of my “Sunburst” Zippo (model 20378?), which is pictured below. It is date-stamped A 03 (January 2003).

I’m really interested in the handful of Zippos that were deeply engraved prior to the release of the Armor series. If you are an expert on Zippo history or know anyone who is, I’d love to hear from you! Here are the two pictured together.
