Default Re: Help with identification of ST Dupont Lighter

Thanks for that. I can't really tell from the pics, but is this a gold lighter?

If so, I am going to go out on a limb and say it's real based on a few things:

1. The stamping of the letters is a bit crooked as it should be for a vintage Linge 1.
2. Vintage Ligne 1 Dupont's are rarely if ever faked
3. I have never seen a slotted fuel cap on a fake

However, for resale value it's going to be very low. You don't have any papers or boxes with it. And since it's a combo laquer and gold (I am assuming gold) and not full gold, it's weight in gold value is decreased. It also looks as if it has been used pretty well.
