Indiana Jones - The Great Circle Props

The lighter is shown in the digital artwork (bonus content).

Here is the comparison of the mechanism of the the 4700 and the 6700. I don‘t know how to show it better.
Any chance you could show us the bonus content photo with the lighter? I wonder if someone will be interested to recreate the blueish graphic to match the real version of lighter/lighters.
 
The sleeve design doesn‘t exist as well like that

it's a surprisingly good match for the original design patent. I wonder if that's what the 3d artist used as a reference.

I'd be interested if anyone could source a maker for the design to be put onto an IMCO lighter, or the lighter with the design on it already...It would be a fun little addition
 
Post 15 has the graphic so you can print it off and stick it on. Or show to an engraving company?
Yeah, I did the same thing and screencapped the art from the extras in the game, and that's an option for sure, although I've not tried that in Japan before so not sure where to start...I'll have a think..I suspect a sticket would look a little cheap...Perhaps
 
I created the Vatican Order stamp in an undistressed and distressed version as well as the City of Vatican seal. I used AI for distressing. Both can be used for the letters Indy is collecting.
Based on my research is the Vatican Order Stamp 40mm in diameter and the City of Vatican is 45mm in diameter.

Do you think the one in Raiders was IMCO 4700 as well?
I believe it’s the 4700.
If you compare the picture to the body shape it more similar to the 4700 - at least to me.
And, to strengthen my assumption you should know that IMCO patented the 4700 in 1936.
Now, that would still be too early to have produced them in 1936, lat alone finding them in a **** hole bar in Nepal.

But it could have been possible that one of some pre patent models existed before 1936 and one of them has been gifted to Marion or her father which gave it to her.
At least that’s how I would explain it to me.
And so I believe now it is the 4700 and not the latter 6700 which superceded the 4700 in 1956. And since the Indy movie prop makers always try to acquire rare real world props - or have the tendency to do it - the 4700 would also fit more into the picture. Simply because it is older and harder to get.
 
I created the Italian Military stamp which you see on some inserts.
Using the version from the digital art book I converted to vector and cleaned up a little bit. Afterwards I looked up the correct font. At least I think it is the proper one.
The Italian military inserts seem to fit on a 8.5 x 11 inch US letter proportion wise. From that I estimate the diameter for this stamp to be 40mm.
