Is this Zippo real? Need help authenticating

Bought this Zippo online for 1500 rupees. The seller claimed it's vintage but something feels off. The click isn't quite right. Photos attached - can you help me verify?

Can you post a photo of the bottom stamp? That's the first thing to check for authentication.

The click being off is concerning. Genuine Zippos have a very distinctive sound that fakes can't replicate.

At 1500 rupees for a claimed vintage piece, that's a red flag already. Real vintage Zippos cost more.

Where did you buy it? If from a marketplace seller, check their other listings for patterns.

If possible, compare it side by side with a known genuine Zippo. The differences become obvious.
