I am pretty sure this is not a Montblanc... But I learn something new all the time...

The seller has updated the auction to clarify that this is not a MB.

You are absolutely right, Bryant, it's definately not a Montblanc pen!

Now even the seller knows and says:

Attention: I have made a mistake in this listing. A very kind seller has informed me that that although Mont Blanc made a masterpiece fountain pen, this is not one. It is a masterpiece fountain pen, probably made in the 1930's. I am sorry for any confusion this has caused. Because there is a bid I can't change the title, even if the bidder removes his bid. Again, I'm sorry for my error. Thank you,

Julia

BTW "Masterpiece" is a trademark of Sheaffer pens so Montblanc had to stop using "Masterpiece" for their export-pens during the 1950' and uses "Meisterstück" since then for all their 1st line pens.
