Is this a Zippo or a Rippo?

Question

I have just bought some Zippo lighters, they are all fairly new, most are out of this year's collection.

I have a question about one though. In the Zippo catalogue it says it's new to 2008, but the one I have has an K 06 date stamp on the bottom, the insert has A 08 as the production date, it's the 'More Anarchy' design.

Everything else 'seems' genuine but I didn't even know that people faked Zippos until yesterday's internet search.

Does that date discrepancy mean my lighter is Rippo?

Answer 1

I assume you were ripped off.  Rippo, probably.
