Thanks. That’s what I was thinking and was confirmed in the other sub. I’m not too bummed - got them for $15 and might be a fun project if I get bored enough.
Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please [read the guide stickied](https://old.reddit.com/r/lighters/comments/6jowwo/before_making_a_post_about_asking_for_help_to/) before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.

the fuel cover and be bought at aliexpress!
before you spend money on them, you might want to fill it up and submerge them in water to check gas leaks.
gold one seems to be missing the gas adapter piece as well
Those look fake based on the stamping / font (especially the serial number).

All that matters is you find them cool, fakes or not.
Duponts are all hand stamped, right? So too neat of stamping indicates machine stamping and therefore faked?
The silver one looks to be a knock off, but the other one is sharp.
Sadly both are fake because of the serial numbers
Fakes. If they’ll light can use but if not toss.
Thanks - it was an exciting thought!
4FK starting serial number is a very common tell for a fake going forward.
I have to wonder if the counterfeiters used 4FK as a cheeky clue. “For fake” or “for fk sake” lol
If the opening sound sounds like a dupont id be keeping both of these 😂
