This elegant S.T. Dupont Line 1 Short lighter features a luxurious combination of deep blue Chinese lacquer and gold-plated metal. Crafted in France, it showcases Dupont’s exceptional craftsmanship and refined design. The serial number engraved on the base guarantees its authenticity and collectible value. [Appearance] The body is finished in a glossy blue lacquer with gold-plated edges, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. There are minor scratches and some plating wear consistent with age and use, especially around the edges, but the overall condition remains very good. The lacquer retains a beautiful shine, and the engraved markings such as “LAQUE DE CHINE” and “MADE IN FRANCE” are clearly visible. [Functionality] Ignition and flame have been confirmed. As with most vintage lighters, gas refilling or light maintenance is recommended before long-term use. It’s a highly collectible piece that also serves beautifully as a display or daily accessory. 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.
