There's some easy ways to detect cheapish fakes. There's some more elaborate ones on the market, but not many.
1. Serial number. Stamped on bottom by hand, so IRREGULAR. 6-8 characters (numbers and capitals) at most.
2. "lack de chine" present on lighters that don't have any
3. Colour-code of required refill inside filling cap
4. initials of employee who made it behind the flint roller when you remove it.
5. Most popular models (diamond head, Lackue de chine) most likely to be fake.
Most important: price. Don't expect a real one new for under 250 US $.
