I'd stay clear of SS zippos, unless in the $5 range.

Sorry, but the last 10 years (at least) have seen an abundance of fakes with SS runes and sometimes RZM marks. Beer bottles, endless steins, watches, folding knives, china, etc. Sometimes on real period articles, often not. The SS controlled use of their symbol carefully and it did not appear on things like a lighter sanctioned by the RZM.

I have never seen a German lighter of the Zippo variety, so lets see what others say.
