Highly desirable among collectors, this S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 Short lighter in black lacquer and gold-plated finish is a timeless expression of French luxury craftsmanship. Compact yet elegant, it delivers the same mechanical precision and “cling” sound that made the Ligne 1 series legendary. Authenticity: The base is engraved “S.T. Dupont de Paris,” “Made in France,” and serial number A4PU12. Features the Dupont hallmark, confirming authenticity. Comes with its original presentation box. Appearance: Deep black lacquer panels framed by gold-plated ribbed detailing. Light scratches and minor lacquer wear consistent with gentle use, but retains beautiful gloss and elegant patina overall. Functionality: Ignition tested and confirmed working properly. Produces a strong, stable flame as shown. Mechanism operates smoothly. As with all vintage Dupont lighters, a professional overhaul is recommended for long-term performance. 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.
