Re: Possible Fake ST Dupont X-Tend
I have noticed that a lot of places are now selling both types. The new ones made in China named mini-jets and maxi-jets and the older ones made in France named X-tend. You could always return your maxi-jet and find a place which still has some of the X-tends in stock before they are all gone. Either way good luck with yours. Mine has been great.

Re: Possible Fake ST Dupont X-Tend
Check out this link. It looks to me that the newer ones have ST Dupont on the ignition bar. The older ones have what is in the picture I took above on the bottom. Does your look like either of these? How about some pics?

Re: Possible Fake ST Dupont X-Tend
Some of the late model Xtends were already manufactured in China
They have Xtend engraved into the iginition bar China printed in small black letters on the back of the iginition bar No markings besides ST Dupont on the bottom It looks like yours matches up with the description. They also came in a black Xtend cardboard case; the new Mini/MaxiJets come in a white ST Dupont cardboard case |

Are they MADE with French parts is the question you should be asking. Swiss watches can be made in Switzerland with Chinese parts or they can be made in China with Swiss parts. Jusst because something is made or it should actually say "assembled" in France does not mean the parts are all fabricated in France. |

Re: Possible Fake ST Dupont X-Tend
I have the old version (Made in France) and love it. What a shame really. They are now produced much cheaper yet price is not lower, just more profits to the company.
By the way Colibri handles the X-Tend line for Dupont in the USA. |
