[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9983015, member: 301"]Before it was put away someone cleaned it and replaced the flint wheel...which should be black . It's much used and much loved, and served your dad , very well.:happy: Unfortunately ....it's indeed much used....and the wear to the gold is very heavy, and will hurt any price you might receive ... :( Open the filler screw cap and see what color is painted under the cap..:peeking::peeking: I see it as a genuine Dupont.... a very popular model worldwide .... so there are many out there for sale..... & that will continue for some time to come ! See this...... as in my opinion they are spot on.... but yours could be a little older than they say....... but not by much..
