Description
Vintage Dunhill Rollagas lighter with custom solid 18ct gold sleeve.
Late 1960s Dunhill Rollagas body (R8 valve code – approx. 1967–1969).
The lighter has recently been fully serviced:
• new seals fitted
• new felt pad
• new springs
• mechanism cleaned and working correctly.
The outer case is stamped 750 (18ct gold) and has been acid tested to confirm 18ct gold.
Total weight: 87g
A standard 1968 Dunhill Rollagas weighs approximately 65g, giving an estimated 15–25 grams of 18ct gold in the sleeve.
The roller (striker wheel) itself also has an 18ct gold sleeve, which adds additional gold content.
Because the Rollagas body had to be slightly shaved down to allow the gold sleeve to fit, the actual gold weight could potentially be towards the higher end of that estimate.
Beautiful engine-turned ripple pattern. A very nice period bespoke piece combining a Swiss Dunhill mechanism with Italian jeweller gold work.
Condition: good vintage condition overall. There are two small dents to the back of the lid and a dent to the base, all visible in the photos. Lid slightly out of line from front view please see photos
Due to the gold content this may also be of interest to buyers looking for scrap gold value or bullion weight items, although it is being sold as a complete vintage Dunhill lighter.
Please see photos for full condition.
