Wouldn't it be great if those were real?

Hi Eda,

Yes, that is a fake - and a badly made as well.
But if you like some really good fakes then have a look here: http://www.ulookbetter.net/mont-blanc-pens...32&sort=20a
And if you now think about the possibility of putting one of these pens into a better faked (or even in an original) box of Montblanc you'll never buy a Montblanc pen in the internet anymore!

Best regards,
Axel

That' s scary!!

Now, I'm worried because I've bought a few on E Bay. I try to be picky with the seller's reputation and all but I guess I will take them to a MB boutuque to doble check.

What about these two (apart from the fact, that their S/N's are the same NDL 33966L):
Star Walker
StarWalker Rubber

Help me here!!

Seller swears it's authentic. Just for the price (60 US) I would swear it's not!
What's your veredict?

Hi Sarrelangue,

The seller can swear what ever he likes but he lies when he is says these items are real Montblanc items.

1.) The boxes and all papers are definately faked and not made by Montblanc! Just look at the stars.
2.) The rollerball has a "never-made-by-Montblanc" grip section.

Best regards,
Axel

Can anyone explain this to me:
140249309191 a Dostoevsky which appears to have gone for $9.99 ???

No, that was the starting price.
Look at the bids: ".... The seller ended the listing early and cancelled all bids ...."
There have been 14 bids up to 700.00 US$.
Why he cancelled the bids? I don't know (and hate this function!).

The LB doesn't have a serial number.

I picked one up a couple of months back and had it checked at a MB Boutique just to make sure...!

Hi, I'm new here but an old Mont Blanc fountain pen collector.
I' ve made my collection mostly from trips all over but some I have bought in E-bay and
similar sites from around the World.
I found one here that really shocked me and would like to know your opinion.

Check out this guy on eBay......I'm sure some of you have already seen his items for sale. Note the horrible feedback!


http://cgi.ebay.com/Montblanc-Mont-Blanc-M...id=p3286.c0.m14

How can these people remain in Ebay??? Why don' t they do something? I understand Paypal can meke them refund the money if the item is not delivered? right?

I have a fake 146 that a friend brought back from China when he went to Hong Kong on business. It is a good enough forgery that the folks at my local boutique couldn't tell. We showed them that the matching pens that he had bought for himself and his wife had identical serial numbers and they almost fell over. There are some counterfeiters in the world who make a very good fake.

BTW:
The fake writes almost as well as my genuine 146 and I still use it almost daily.

A faked fountain pen 146?
With a real piston filling mechanism?

I don't want to believe it.

Out of interest, what is the serial number of the counterfeit?

- I have my suspicions regarding one particular Ebay seller, although the pens look completely genuine.

Check out this link

"SO THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET YOUR HANDS ON A BEAUTIFUL SET OF PENS. OVER $1000 WORTH OF PENS FOR $139.99 - DON'T MISS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And they even have a featured listing. I heard recently ebay was fined for facilitating transactions of counterfeit Chanel, Louis Vitton goods etc and yet they permit these cowboys to have featured listings.

Buyer beware.

p.s. at the same time very curious on the quality of the copies.

This was an auction for a very affordable "MB Chopin": Ebay link.

PLEASE DON'T CONTACT US WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT AUTHENTICITY - IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS LISTING GO ELSEWHERE.

We are not offering any returns. The item is as presented here. This is a genuine article - If you think you are going to come around and claim that this is not original in a few weeks when you receive it - don't bid or contact us - we will not offer you a refund under any circumstances.

We welcome all those who like the charisma and character of this type of pen - we do not welcome those that think they're going to live the life of a millionaire on a shoestring.

We do not have time to individually respond to questions about serials and so on, if you don't like what you see, please choose a different pen elsewhere, or visit your local montblanc store - where you'll find a team of salespeople willing to relieve you of $500, and answer all the questions that you have.

This is a one-man show, and I also have to work, so I don't have the time to be spending all day online. Apologies.

It is in my desk at work, but I will look tomorrow for you. The most common sign of a fake, that I've seen, is the cap band imprint. The genuine band has lettering that spans the band almost completely from top to bottom of the area between the bevelled edges. The fakes have around 1mm on either side.

MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE OTHER AUCTIONS.

You have to admire them for trying

Talking about China...it's madness there. Everything and anything is possibly faked!
Trust me, i just came back from China. Anyone going to China..BEWARE!

You don't have to go to China to get duped with fakes. Go to the bay, it's stodged with fakes.
And as long as stupid and avaricious buyers think they can get a "sale of the Century" from the bay, there will be cheaters to gratify them.

GE1549639 on mine.

Many thanks for that. It is different to the Ebay seller I had suspicions about but it is worth making a note of for i/ding future counterfeits.
