Dupont Lighter experts....

[bayerische]

I'm looking at a Dupont lighter, but I'm somewhat careful, as I there's so many "fakes".

Any expert advise?

I'm looking for a well used vintage piece.

I would guess that half you see are fakes.....and there are some real good ones....
I had a Gatsby model years ago and walked off from a slot machine in Vegas and left it....almost 400 bucks down the drain.
I wont by anything over a Bic now.
If it was me I would stay away....far away from Ebay and look for a discounted new one....less problems and if it does not work you can send it back.
The one I bought was from payless cigars online....I had been buying boxes of cigars for over a year from them and they made me a great deal off the web price....almost 100 below web price.....still wish I had it.
