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.

The OP does not have any engraving on the side though, that is a big difference.

Except for the part where it isn't on all models and is a recent addition to the lighter? :P
