Crafted by the renowned German manufacturer Mylflam, this model, also known as the B57, is a prime example of early 20th Century craftsmanship.
The lighter features a stunning, ornate engraved case with intricate floral and scroll-like patterns, reflecting the elegant aesthetics of the Art Deco period.
Brit Patent D.R.P. is a combination of two separate patent markings found on vintage Mylflam lighters.
D.R.P.: This is the abbreviation for "Deutsche Reich Patent," which translates to "German Imperial Patent". This marking indicates that the item was a patented product in Germany. Its use dates to a period before 1945.
Brit. Patent: This refers to a British patent, meaning the same or a similar patent was also registered in the United Kingdom.
The lighter is unrestored and untested. Please see pics for detail. Engraving is sharp and clear, some wear to base but branding is still very clear.
