Default Re: S.T. Dupont "replicas"

Well, it arrived looking all nice and pretty.

There are three dead giveaways it's a knockoff...the serial is too neat, there isn't a color ring inside the fill screw, and it's a single flame (Ligne 2 should be double).


That being said, the weight is almost dead on, it opens with a *very* good ping (slightly more hollow, but it resonates very well), and it works as a lighter I can honestly say I'm very satisfied. $42 shipped with the leather case was worth the wait.


Here are some pictures, forgive my fingerprints and camera angles please.
