I had two Gold plated zippos. One was given to me one day in the barracks day room, by a friend who decided to quit smoking, it was already engraved. The other one I got for a x-mas present from my father ( career CSM ) Which he had had engraved. The first x-mas I was home on leave . I stopped carrying either, after the 200th time i put to much fluid in them and they leaked in my pocket and burned the heck out of my leg. You buy them or someone gives them to you.
