Crown Clip Pipe Lighter Repair

[Danish Estates]

Hello all,

I was curious if anyone has any experience with a crown clip pipe lighter (pictured below). I just acquired this in a lot of estate pipes I picked up. I am unsure how to replace the flint in it. I have taken it apart some, but still haven't made it to the flint. Please let me know if you have any experience with a lighter like this. Thank you for your help.

Did you ever change the flint in it, or can it be changed?

it was a long time ago. I think so but the details are hazy. Sorry.

From what I can see looking around which isn’t much, it seems that the bottom unscrews in order to fill it so it would make sense that the top also unscrews in order to put in a flint.

Upon further investigation, and fear of breaking something, I discovered that the top presses out (I had tried screwing it out previously). Here are some photos for future purposes of those that may have this same question.
