[QUOTE="Niczn, post: 4507126, member: 77399"]Hello, first post here, apologies for any mistakes in advance! I received this Dupont (see photos) from a buyer on Ebay after I'd originally ordered a Dunhill 70, a similar looking model with box and papers. I wouldn't complain if I could verify this lighter to be real. I have some doubts regarding the serial number and I have tried calling ST Dupont directly but no answer, I've also emailed them and am awaiting a response. The serial number is 16 I K P 87 A couple points to note... The numbers 6, 8 and 7 are appear to be stamped slightly deeper. 1, I, K and P are more fine and softer in their appearance. The stamp above the serial appears to be the wheel with wings, it has a tilt to the left. The fuel cap has a red painted mark inside I am hoping to remove the plate inside the cap to check for a serial number too. I paid 85 pounds for the original lighter but instead received this Dupont. Upon first glance it seems real but as I can't find a similar model with the serial font / size, I'm having a little doubt. I also need to weigh it to confirm the parameter weights. Any information, advice, opinions or info would be greatly appreciated. I have read several threads about fakes but I feel there is more to this one than just the serial number being a little neat..
