Very cool. I’ve got quite a few. I’ve fitted them with pipe nozzles also. I love them. I’d also like to get an Old Boy style and a 60’s version with rounded top. On my bucket list for sure.
Here’s one of mine.
Here’s one of mine.
I took a brand new 70's gold rollagas and a Gold Tall boy in trade recently.
Where should I send them to be rebuilt? Not holding gas. I fear the O rings has degraded in there.
I am no small parts mechanic.
Many thanks

Neither am I.
I’ve always sent mine to ARS for pipe conversions and mandatory rebuild but now I can source the pipe jets from china. The last one I bought (a tall) I sent out to a Facebook hobby repair guy for half the price.
What finish are they?
They rebuilt my old Dunhill Gemline pipe-lighter, and I can attest to the quality of their work. Here is a link to their Website.
Will post some pics later tonight. Both are beautiful and unused, but as far as which exact models they are, I am unsure. Pics after work.
If you don't mind me asking, what did they charge for the rebuild?
Many thanks CB
$133.75 (including shipping and a package of Dunhill blue flints) in 2013 and, in my opinion, worth every penny.

I used Steve at NWFJ. A member from another forum recommended him. It was $50 for the overhaul and $20 for the angled nozzle, including shipping. Works great. He is quick and responsive. steve@nwfinejewelers.com
Yes he’s is! He recently worked on a Dupont table lighter of mine. I was very happy with his service!
This is mine I want to get it rebuilt and a pipe nozzle sparks. But I’m pretty sure it needs a rebuild. Spent 50 on eBay for it so I’m not suprised it needs a rebuild do to age.how to tell the fakes from the real? its getting rather hard and well, for some reason a dunhil pipe is awfully cheaper then a dunhill lighter. even the old kerosene ones
In general lighters are a far more popular collectible than pipes are.
For those who use the Rollagas.. are you all using it with a pipe insert? Or there is someone who use normal nozzle with satisfaction on pipe? Thanks
Mine is normal nozzle.. and I can't send to update.. I've tried two times to use with pipe but it seems difficult..

I’ve only tried it with the pipe nozzle. If you’re handy, I believe there is a kit to service them and for the pipe nozzle.
