This vintage S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 Short lighter represents the refined craftsmanship and precision for which the French maison is renowned. Made in France, it features the distinctive Grid Pattern design — a geometric motif that reflects light elegantly and enhances its timeless aesthetic. The base is engraved with “S.T. Dupont de PARIS,” “MADE IN FRANCE,” and the serial number, confirming authenticity. [Appearance] The surface retains a bright metallic shine with Dupont’s iconic horizontal-and-vertical engraved finish. Minor scratches, fine scuffs, and slight wear from use and age are visible, particularly near the edges, yet the overall condition remains good for a vintage piece. [Functionality] Ignition and flame operation have been tested and confirmed to be in good working order. An excellent collectible example of S.T. Dupont’s timeless design and mechanical excellence — ideal for collectors or as a distinguished personal lighter. Before shipping, ignition will be reconfirmed. 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.
