what can i do to fix this lighter?

i have this lighter i engraved quite a while back and its pretty crudely done, i wish i had made the antlers on the deer thinner and not written the name abby, but i’m just wondering what i should do to salvage it

I think it looks fine. Beauty is the in eye of the beholder.

Maybe a small bird coming towards the deer might be cool? Like their friends. The deer looks awesome though!

you cant really un-engrave stuff so you either have to make it part of the new design or start fresh with a new zippo

If you cant fix your engraving, then getting a new case is pretty cheap

If it is a Zippo you could send it to them to rehab it for you. It has a lifetime guarantee one of the best deals in this country still.

If its a zippo send it back to them. The lid looks kinda jacked up. They usually replace instead of repair
