This elegant S.T. Dupont Line 1 Short lighter features a refined black Chinese lacquer finish combined with luxurious gold plating. Crafted in France, it carries the authentic S.T. Dupont engraving and serial number JC2613, ensuring its originality and collectible value. [Appearance] The body is finished in deep black lacquer with gold-plated trim, offering a timeless and sophisticated look. There are some light scratches and plating wear consistent with age and use, particularly around the edges, but the overall condition remains very good. The lacquer retains its rich shine and the engravings are clear and legible. [Functionality] The lighter has been tested, and ignition and flame function have been confirmed. Due to its vintage nature, we recommend refilling the gas or servicing before long-term use. This piece is suitable both as a functional accessory and as a collector’s display item. Flint and gas will be removed before shipping. Please refill before use. [International Buyers – Please Note] Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
