    Dear Forum,

    Some time ago I inherited a St Dupont watch from my Grandpa. However, I have some concerns on the authenticity of this lighter as I am not an expert. I am in dire need of help is this thing real our not. My main concern is that I am not able to locate a serial number on the higher. I have read somewhere that some rare Dupont lighters have no serial number or something like this.I would really appreciate the help.

    How does it sound when you open it? Have you removed the fill cap and checked to see if is painted?

    and more importantly, have you tried contacting St Dupont directly?

    I'm working on it....but not liking what I'm finding !

    The hinge on the authentic Line 2 Chinese lacquer w/ gold flecks ...has a pin in it ...yours does not.
    The slide for the flint...looks different
    as does the base....the thumb barrel....and a lack of inscription on the case...

    Fake because Serial is done by a machine, ā€žDā€œ stamp is unusual and pretty sure that it weights more then other
