What are the most faked MB models ?
Are most of the fakes BP/RB ?
Are the FP commonly faked ?
Did you see a really good fake that you hardly knew its a fake ?
Do they fake the Piston family too ?
Are there LE fakes too ?

I would appreciate if you have more then just hear say info but more of actual solid information like personal knolage,articles you read...etc

chopin pens (FP,RB,BP), I can see them everywhere recently
these pens are sold with box, cd and certificate, and you can hardly tell the diffienence by photos

besides that there are also many of limited pens

How do you know that this is fake. It looks preaty OK for me.

The serial number is common among fakes. There are several threads that mention the same serial number.

you are right and also the clip
take a careful look at it~

I had seen the cheap fakes of 149s, openly sold on the streets of Shanghai at 2 for $10, I hadnt appreciated that the fakers would go to the lengths of the Chopin CD and all the rest of the fakery.

It is a great pity that they even try to fake MBs rather than create their own designs using existing skills and talents. I have two Chinese pens that are high quality and attractive pens that would stand comparison against the majority of Western pens without the need to copy or immitate, and still cost the same as the badly made MB fakes.

Just to remember all of you, her again is one of the web pages of faked Montblancs:

Compare befor bidding!

Ughh! Just looking at the site name tells you what type of people go about that site. As for most faked, anything Meisterstuck. Simple, synonymous with MB; perfect target.

Simply (but not exclusively) point your mouse to fleabay where there are excellent copies as well as some cracking genuine MBs. The counterfeiters nowadays are fantastic if they try hard. I can only be fully reassured if I purchase from ADs or known sellers, but even then mistakes happen. Good hunting.

Most faked: Meisterstuck

Hello...I'm new to this forum and happy to be here. I was wondering if this forum has a thread where someone can post a link or pic of a MB they are considering and veteran experts here give an opinion on its authenticity? The reason I ask is I am also a member of a forum just like this for designer purses (I'm a Coach buff) and there are specific threads call 'Authenticate This" for each designer name handbag where members post items they are interested in buying and "unofficial" experts render their "opinion" on authenticity.... http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/...ach-302470.html

I ask because I am the proud owner of only a couple of older MB's (Meisterstuck 163 and 165). They were gifts, I'm not a collector (wish I could afford to be :-) and I would like to find the matching fountain pen 144, as I have a 144 desk pen base and I don't believe a Chopin will fit. I could tell ya more than you you want to know about how to spot a fake Coach but I am TOTALLY clueless when it comes to knowing what to look for to spot a fake MB or the accessories. If you have something like this...please point me in the right direction...

Best regards
Phyl
