I have one such fake 'Dope'pont' as I call them. Most frauds that I have seen have been L2 lighters that are either gold or silver and have a pattern that is not offered in their catalog. I have not seen frauds that have a quality lacquer. Dupont fuel is measured to specific lighters. If after cooling the lighter and exhausting the existing fuel, it does not take a full cartridge, you will have an indication that the lighter is not legit. Once identified as to which fuel fills it, you can check to see how well it takes the fuel. Having had one stolen, I am pretty choosy where I use one today. I have used all my lighters, but I typically just use my 007 these days. In buying one used, it is nice to know that you did not pay top dollar for it and put the first nick in it.Ī couple of mine are so damn aesthetically pretty, that I have a hard time using them beyond simply appreciating them as items of art. Mine was a gift, like a box of glass top Cohibas! I think that is a pretty nice lighter that you found there and I would have popped for that in a heartbeat.
You can pretty clearly see that they are fake if you have any existing Dupont experience. Is it on the card or on the lighter itself? (I dont know if the serial number is on the lighter but there are lots of deals on ebay at the time for dupont lighters. The only true way to know that I'm aware of is this: The serial number on a real Dupont lighter is hand stamped, number by number and so the numbers will not be perfectly aligned.
