Looks to be a real Dupont by my eye. It seems to be an older, more beat up version of their iconic Black Chinese Laquer. In fact, I believe that "Laque de Chine" might be the dead giveaway here... but then again I'm not French.

See attachments for comparison. Also, note that the S.T. Dupont Logo on the side of the lid and the word "Paris" on the body of the lighter are not on all models and is a more recent addition to the Ligne 2 lighter.
