What kind [manufacturer] of lighter is it??? (I collect/used-to-collect cigarette case lighters). 
Also...Why such a long barrel???  |
Yes this was intended to be a lighter and was manufactured in Japan in the 50's & 60's. Sorry but I couldn't find a name brand.
Who knows why they chose to make the barrel out of proportion but it would be a simple matter to machine the barrel to proper length.
As they seem to go for between $200 - $600 dollars I think I will leave mine alone for awhile.
I got mine @ auction for $27.75 USD premium included.

Anyway I couldn't resist buying it ... I collect LP.08's and I think the lighter is a blast (no pun intended)
Dam it ... just looked out the window and its snowing.
