Engraving Zippo with Initials/Short Word or Name - Horizontal Panel Zippo's
Zippo produce two lighters that feature a horizontal engraving panel. These are known as the Ultralite models, although the weigh roughly the same as any other Zippo lighter. They differ from the previous models in that the engraving panel is formed by attaching an 'emblem' to the front body of the lighter which has a letterbox style hole in it, revealing the polished chrome surface of the Zippo beneath it.
Due to the raised nature of the emblem design on this Zippo model space is more limited therefore you should only chose this model if you want 3 initals with full stops or a word/name up to 6 characters.
