This sophisticated lighter by S.T. Dupont represents the brand’s renowned craftsmanship and timeless design. It features a silver-plated body with a finely engraved engine-turned pattern, giving it a striking and elegant appearance. The bottom is clearly engraved with the S.T. Dupont logo, “Made in France,” and the unique serial number, ensuring authenticity. It comes complete with its original presentation box, booklet, and international guarantee card, making it an excellent choice for collectors as well as for daily use. [Appearance] The silver-plated surface is decorated with a precise herringbone/engine-turned pattern, enhancing its refined presence. Minor scratches and light signs of use are visible, mainly on the base, but the overall condition remains very good. Logos and engravings are sharp and well-preserved. [Functionality] The basic functions of the gas lighter have been checked (spark and ignition confirmed). As it is a luxury vintage piece, we recommend refilling with gas or a professional service for long-term use. Also suitable as a collector’s display item. Before shipping, ignition will be reconfirmed. For safety reasons, the lighter will be shipped without gas. Please refill before use. The test flint used for ignition confirmation is not included. [International Buyers – Please Note] Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” – International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
