Unfortunately it might be disposable. Check Facebook for collector groups. ARS might be able to help.

thanks do you know what type of flint and how to get it in there?
do you just drop it in ?
Best way to check that would be open it and see if there is a flint remnant in it. It is likely held in place with a long spring. Failing that, take the lighter to a Brick and Mortar tobacconist shop, a tobacco specialty shop. See if someone on staff there can help you, and be sure to ask them to show you how. A good pipe and cigar specialty shop will gladly help you out.
Thanks for your help.
By the way, it is a nice looking lighter.
I hope you get it working without much trouble.
Yes, it is nice looking, thanks. One more question-do I use a screwdriver to open it where the fill valve is? That is the only possible opening I see. really apreciate your advice as I know nothing about vintage lightersBy the way, it is a nice looking lighter.
I really think your best option would be to take it to a shop, let them show you. I don't want to encourage you to go further and possibly ruin your find.
If you do not have a specialty tobacconist nearby a local Mom & Pop jeweller may be able to help you.
