RAID is an elite special operations unit of the French National Police that was established in 1985 to fight all types of illegal activity and serious crime. Its name refers to the word “raid” which is an acronym for: “Search (Recherche in French), Assistance, Intervention and Dissuasion”.Its motto is: “Service without fail”.
Since 1872, the French luxury manufacturer S.T. Dupont has been outfitting the elite and the influential people of our world. In its workshops in France, S.T. Dupont designs and produces exceptional products for exceptional individuals. Different spheres of activity but a shared commitment to excellence and perfection. So it was natural that RAID turned to S.T. Dupont for a unique creation of high quality to mark its 25-year anniversary. Out of this collaboration, an exceptional collector’s item was born, with production limited to just 1,000.
