However they will not Be above 130grams in weight. Real Ligne 2 lighter's weight will depend on what they have on them and whether or not they are filled or empty. The exception to this rule are the special edition versions that naturally will weigh more due to the amount of extra materials involved in the creative process.įAKE LIGHTERS WILL TYPICALLY BE 130+ GRAMS IN WEIGHT Genuine lighters are naturally lightweight for the owner not to have the heft in their pockets, therefor if the lighter no matter if it is empty or filled weighs more than 110grams on a scale, it is a fake model. If the lighter you are looking at says that it is a "limited edition" and does not have a numbered lighter but a regular serial number on it, DO NOT BUY IT. Please note that 007 series lighters are the most common fake limited editions sold. Also limited edition lighters are not stampedĪnother example from a genuine 007 series lighter. This lighter is 1935 out of 2686 ever made. Instead, they will contain the numbered piece that lighter is in the run that was commissioned from ST Dupont as seen below.
Limited edition lighters are only created in small batches, and therefor will not contain a serial number stamped on the underside of them. If there is no refill cap, ask for the lighter to be weighted and check the weight. If you are unsure about the serial number being real or not because of this,Ĭheck the first three characters to the list above, if it is not listed in the list above confirm that the refill cap has a color code inside. NOTE: Some genuine lighters have been stamped with care and evenly, while they are not 100% perfect they may seem like a fake due to the care taken to the spacing and stamping on them. If you serial number does not match any of the listed serial numbers below and it is stamped and uneven (See photo 1) then the lighter is most likely genuine. IF your serial numbers look perfectly aligned next to each other both in spacing and alignment (See photo 2) then your lighter is sadly not genuine and a fake. If the serial starts with any of these codes, they are fakes.
Serial number is on the list, numbers are evenly spaced and perfectly perpendicular = FAKEĤFK is the most commonly used fake serial number online. Uneven, imperfect and not perfectly spaced = authentic. RULE 1 for buying off ebay, etsy ect.: If they seller has not posted the bottom portion of the lighter that clearly shows the serial number and declines to show it.īY SERIAL NUMBER (Primarily identification)īelow is an initial list of fake serial numbers that can be cross referenced to the ones that need to be STAMPED not ENGRAVED on your lighter.
