Help with identification of ST Dupont Lighter Accessory Discussion / Reviews. If you contact ST Dupont and give them the serial number on the bottom, they can tell. S t dupont lighter serial number the big “jet smooth” chevrolet impala, bel air and biscayne returned for 1964 stronger than ever with the new s t dupont lighter serial number squared-up styling lotus europa site with a registry, photos, knowledgebase, calendar, documentation, literature, events, clubs, photos and more.

A few of my ST Duponts, and one vintage Dunhill Rollagas, thrown in for good measure. Please excuse the crappy focusing & generally bad video quality. All my lighters are genuine items. There are many fakes around. The ST Dupont models are copied widely, especially the Ligne 2.

Some fakes are very convincing and need close scrutiny, but there are easy to spot signs to look out for. Fake serial numbers: one widely-used is 4FK12J8. Anything with ' 4FK ' in the serial is fake. This isn't the only number/letter combination used; most fake serials are machine-stamped with perfectly-aligned letters/numbers rather than the irregular, unique hand-stamp on each genuine ST Dupont.

Any limited edition ST Dupont will have a serial stating that item's number in the run, e.g. 1006 / 2500 and if you see an ordinary stamp on any limited edition item, it's a fake. If it says ' laque de chine ' it stands to reason the item should have some Chinese lacquer on it and not be plain gold or silver. If you do a search for Dupont replica sites, many examples of fakes can be found.

Some imitate limited edition items, others don't resemble any Dupont ever made. Any fake sent to ST Dupont for service is confiscated.

Very good site for reference is Dupontcollector.com.

How about you use that useless lump located about 3' above your ass and do some google searches for info on your dupont lighter instead of coming in here and asking to be spoonfed something you could probably figure out for yourself. Why, I would suspect there must be a plethora of information out there on dupont lighters and how to tell if one is real or fake. You're either stupid or lazy. Oh and if you're really curious as to why you've had such a wonderful reception here.while you're googling also search 'netiquette' If you have two more brain cells than a cow, you should be able to figure the answer to that out yourself.

Here is a cut and paste from a cigarfamily.com post on this subject: How can you tell? Pay attention at the following details: 1.

Bottom Markings: a) Dupont Mark (square): use a 10x loupe you should see the mark has good detail with the very small dupont word imprinted in the little square. B)ST Dupont Paris Laque De Chine should be engraved not machine stamped, you can see the edges are sharp. C)The serial numbers from the FAKES appear to have the same fonts similiar to the markings in (b). Pay attention at the stamping presure applied you can see that it is stamped at the same time as the markings in (b).
