    Description

    Extremely Rare Iranian Imperial Navy I.I.S. Karkas M.S.C. 34 Authentic Zippo from the 1960's and I.I.S. Karkas 1962 Officer's Parker
    Fountain Pen
    The I.I.S. Karkas was a war ship operational from 1940-1960
    . It was built by Brooke Marine Ltd. in the United States. I was not able to find any memorabilia sold online. Bonhams London sold a three lighter set of Iranian Imperial Navy Zippo lighters in 2007 for 40 USD, that included the I.I.S. Karkas but in poor condition.
    This listing is your opportunity to own what maybe the only new, unused
    I.I.S. Karkas Zippo
    in existence
    . The included pen makes this even more rare.
    These were given to my grandfather, who was a five star Admiral in 1960-1970's.
    This Zippo is new, unused and comes with original box.
    Finish: brushed metal front and back with logo in color. Top, bottom and sides are shiny chrome.
    Condition: I have several images from different lighting that show one pit on the front cap top (see image), on the back are 4 pits (see image), the top and sides have hairline scratches that are hard to see.
    The Parker fountain pen, model # 21 is marked "Parker Pen Company made in the USA" is without box but includes the original ink cartridge and looks unused but I cannot guarantee that, as its very hard to tell. The condition is excellent as seen in pictures.
    The writing states: I.I.S. KARKAS-34 EX-MSC 292 BOSTON MASS. U.S.A. 9 JUNE 1962
