This elegant S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 Large lighter features a deep green Chinese lacquer finish with luxurious gold-plated accents. A timeless model made in France, it carries the engraved serial number X3KB27 on the bottom, certifying its authenticity and collectible value. [Appearance] The lacquer surface maintains a beautiful gloss with only minor scratches and plating wear typical of age and use, mainly on the edges and base. The green lacquer contrasts beautifully with the gold trim, creating a refined and sophisticated impression. [Functionality] Ignition and flame are confirmed; however, the flame adjustment does not function correctly and the flame remains large. For proper use, servicing or adjustment by a professional is recommended. Even with this issue, it makes a wonderful piece for display or as part of a vintage lighter collection. 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.
