Is This A Genuine 149?

[WCable1]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here at FPN and I could use some advice concerning an MB 149 on ebay I've got my eye on. To put this in context I've purchased one off ebay before and it turned out to be fake. The nib even though it was a medium wrote appallingly and when I expected it the gold colouring on the nib was coming off at the edges and was clearly steel underneath. This new one looks more promising but you can see that the rhodium section spills over to the gold section at points (that's a really bad description I know but it's late). Is that the sign of a fake or just overspill from when the rhodium was inlayed? I'd really appreciate some advice on this. Here's the link to the ebay entry:

The pen pictured is definitely an authentic Mb 149.
