Hello Everyone,

 

I'm brand new to FPN and a novice collector as well.

 

I have a Montblanc Meistestuck ball point that has cracks in it and also what appears to be finger nail polish on it. Is there any hope for this pen?

Send it back to MB and expect to pay but receive a repaired pen.

The only authorized Montblanc repair facility in the USA is located in Pennsylvania. Even if you take your Montblanc to an authorized dealer they will send it to this location:

 

Montblanc North Ammerica, LLC

252 Broadhead Road Suite 500

Bethlehem, Pa. 18017

1-800-995-4810

www.montblanc.com

 

If you go to the official Montblanc web site look for the FAQ page. Click on the question "Where can I get my Montblanc repaired." Follow through and you'll see both foreign and domestic repair locations.

 

I've had two Montblancs repaired by the Pennsylvania office with good results. They are not very fast but it certainly will not take months.

 

I hope this helps.

I have Meisterstuck ballpoint that developed a crack in the barrel, I presume from twisting the mechanism to expose the tip. I grudginly sent it to the Montblanc repair center. They notified me before they did any work and I paid by credit card over the phone. The repair cost was $50 but the pen came back as good as new with a new refill in it. If I recall correctly, the $50 is pretty much a standard fee for their service and only in the last couple of years did it go up from $35. The repair was a whole lot cheaper than a new (or used) pen so even if you don't have any sentimental value attached to the pen, it is still a pretty good deal. I also learned a $50 lesson not to twist the pen so vigorously when I get ready to use it.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
