Hi, zeteibao: Did you ever hear from Dupont about the serial number of that Fidelio FP? There is one for sale on eBay even as I write (#22), and the seller even sent me personally a picture of the serial number on the pen's clip. The photograph is not good enough for me to decipher what that number is, but I do notice that it's engraved not at the top of the clip but at the bottom! Should I suspect this pen is a fake? The asking price seems to be a bit low; it's USD$149. Don, 'Sir Nibs'. Hi, zeteibao: Did you ever hear from Dupont about the serial number of that Fidelio FP?

The asking price seems to be a bit low; it's USD$149. Don, 'Sir Nibs' I don't see anything that would say fake BUT the Fidelio is not one of the versions that used Chinese Laquer so that came from some other pen.

The body is a very nice resin but not Laque de Chine.

Thanks for that. I can't really tell from the pics, but is this a gold lighter? If so, I am going to go out on a limb and say it's real based on a few things: 1.

The stamping of the letters is a bit crooked as it should be for a vintage Linge 1. Vintage Ligne 1 Dupont's are rarely if ever faked 3. I have never seen a slotted fuel cap on a fake However, for resale value it's going to be very low. You don't have any papers or boxes with it.

And since it's a combo laquer and gold (I am assuming gold) and not full gold, it's weight in gold value is decreased. Free download aeon cobra 220 repair manual programs to help online. It also looks as if it has been used pretty well. Thanks, everyone for your interest. The lighter is gold in color with black inlay but It isn't marked with any metal content such as K (karat). I'm assuming it is plated if any real gold at all. You think the gold parts could be solid even though it isn't marked?
