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. \*BY 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. 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. This way we can be for sure whether or not your lighter is a fake or genuine model. If after reading the checklist and watching the video you are still unsure about your lighter, please make sure that when you post your lighter here on the subreddit to get it authenticated that you show the lighter's underside showing the serial number and stamp clearly, as well as the inside of the gas refill cap if you have it. If you happen to still do this, your comment is going to be removed. If you still are unsure on if your lighter is authentic or not, make your own post.
