S.T. Dupont Andy Warhol Elvis Presley 1964 Limited Edition — Real or Fake? What's it worth without box/papers?

Hey everyone,
I came across this S.T. Dupont Andy Warhol Limited Edition lighter (Elvis Presley 1964, no. xx/1964) being sold for €500. No box, no papers — just the lighter itself, described as being in good condition.
It does work (flame visible), the Elvis double portrait on the front looks correct, and the Warhol quote + signature on the back are present. The base reads “S.T. Dupont pl PARIS MADE IN FRANCE” with a serial number.
Things I’m unsure about:
• €500 without papers feels high — boxed examples go for €400–700 at auction
• No way to verify the serial number myself
• I know generic Ligne 2 fakes exist with Warhol decals
My questions:

  1. Does anyone have experience authenticating this specific model?
  2. Are there known fakes of the Elvis Warhol Dupont?
  3. What would you pay for this without box/papers, assuming it’s genuine?
  4. Photos attached. Any help appreciated 🙏

UPDATE:
The seller just sent me the following pictures wich I‘ve asked for. Do you think it‘s safe to buy? (See comments)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on upgrading the speakers in my current vinyl setup.

My setup:

- Turntable: Rega Planar P3

- Cartridge: Sumiko Amethyst

- Phono preamp: iFi Audio ZEN Phono 3

- Current speakers: Magnat Multi Monitor 220

I feel like the Magnat speakers are probably the weakest part of the chain now, and I’d like to replace them with something that lets the rest of the setup shine more.

Budget is around 500–1000 CHF/EUR, but I’m also open to used gear. I’m considering both:

- active speakers / studio monitors

- passive speakers + integrated amplifier

Some options I’ve been thinking about:

- Genelec 8030C

- ADAM Audio A7V / T8V

- DALI Oberon 5 with a NAD / Cambridge / Yamaha / Marantz amp

I mainly listen to vinyl, but I also plan to use the speakers for watching TV. So they should work well for both music and general TV/movie use.

I’m looking for something musical, detailed, and enjoyable for normal room listening — not necessarily super analytical, but I do want a clear upgrade over the Magnats.

What would you recommend as the best upgrade path? Should I stay active, or move to passive speakers with an integrated amp?

Thanks!
