Just for the record though: The font stamp under the lighter is not what I am used to seeing on any Dupont I have ever come into contact with.


The Ligne 1 editions are the entry level into the ST Dupont lighter line up. I have an acid gold testing kit but Im afraid to put any directly on the surface and risk any damage.
H DUPONT SERIAL NUMBER HOW TO
I figured out how to open the flint chamber but I dont have a flint either.Īny way to test it without fuel Just curious what you mean -wise by low resale It feels pretty hefty weight-wise. You think the gold parts could be solid even though it isnt marked Ive seen some that were real gold but they were marked at the bottom of one of the narrow sides. The lighter is gold in color with black inlay but It isnt marked with any metal content such as K (karat).
H DUPONT SERIAL NUMBER FULL
I have never seen a slotted fuel cap on a fake However, for resale value its going to be very low.Īnd since its a combo laquer and gold (I am assuming gold) and not full gold, its weight in gold value is decreased. Vintage Ligne 1 Duponts are rarely if ever faked 3. The stamping of the letters is a bit crooked as it should be for a vintage Linge 1. Once you see the dot it will help you in narrowing your search. If you can take off that fuel cap and have a look underneath, there should be a colored dot.

Dupont is not known for keeping great records, especially not of their regular production lines.
