Kevin at Q-Branch has spent absolutely hours inputting this iconic design into his laser etching machine to provide us with one bloody cool collectable.
The MI6 OO-Division banner has been in use since TWINE. In Casino Royale and QOS it bacame a famous iconic wallpaper seen on M's and Bonds laptop screens, as well as MI6's monitors. It is this logo that Kevin has duplicated in exceptional detail and programmed into his laser etching gizmo.
Everyone who has bought a silencer or anything from Kev can attest to the remarkable and sharp attention to detail that he has applied to his work. This item is no exception and will stand out and become a subtle talking point for any Bond fan. Kev proposes to buy a consignmment of GENUINE black ZIPPO lighters and laser etch the MI6 logo into the brass itself.
This is NOT just painted on but etched into the lighters brass body for lasting durability. Even if you are a non-smoker, emptying a can of petrol onto your enemies Sunseeker and throwing this into the centre is bound to make you look cooler. It is beautifully executed and looks much better than any picture I can supply (no comments from you keo2eww!).
Kev is offering this to all AJBers at a bargain price of £45. It may be offered elsewhere but at a much higher rate.
Please register your interest in the usual copy & paste way.
Remember this is a proffessionally etched item and not a cheap painted or printed logo. The lighter IS a genuine Zippo.

So based on this info, and the fact that Kev will have to buy 50 Zippo's in bulk to lower the price to £30-£35 including postage. Is there anyone interested?
Does anyone have any ideas as to how this laser engraving may be applied to other items? It seems such a waste that Kevin has spent many many hours on designing and inputting this modified design for nothing.
Kev, please weigh in on the points I've presented above
