Is It A Genuine Montblanc

Recommended Posts

Greetings. This is my first post in montblanc forum

 

I ebay a montblanc slim line fp, from a germany seller. It is said a 19 seventies, but I have a question when I receive the pen. There is no montblanc white flow at the end of the clip, and nothing on the nib like montblanc.

 

Anyone can help to identify it's geniune or fake?

I have a genuine one and the nib has no MontBlanc markings on it. The nib looks similar to yours (the picture is too blurred to say exactly), while the top and bottom end-pieces are the same. My barrel, cap, and clip are totally different though. Someone with more experience with the different finises for this pen could help more.

thanks

That is a vote of confidence that you can rely on. What nibs are they on those pens? Let us know how it writes.

yes, let us know how it writes ... so far, I have only seen these pens with a bigger iridium point ... this nib seems more like stub nib

It's F nib. Pen holder is slippy plastic, you know, if your fingers dry, the pen will slide. The nib is hard, writing feeling is similar to my LAMY AL-STAR, but this montblanc is too smooth to control. But I m happy with the strokes, it's fine to write chinese on a 8mm notebooks. I saw some pen friends' meisterstuck fp, F nib, its strokes like M, too wide.

Do you know can this montblanc use current ink converter? Here is its cartridge. post-80559-0-81860100-1402826873_thumb.jpg Can it use europe standard converter like schmit, schneider, monterverde etc?

I think your pen is genuine Montblanc Noblesse Black/Silver Pen with Fine Stainless Steel nib.

I bought exactly the same pen about forty years ago.

Unfortunately I've lost mine later, and recently I found a new old stock at a shop and got it.

 

My 2nd pen has no white star at the barrel end. (I mean it was lost) <- added

And the inner cap of my pen became loose so the nib will dry easily.

But I love the pen's look and feel.

 

Hope your pen behave as it should.

 

And I used converter forty years ago, but cannot tell whether it accepts MB current converter or not.

 

 

regards,

To be clear about the converter question:

 

I used to own a pen very like that one, except that it was in matte black finish. Very smooth fine nib. For me, not too smooth. A pleasure.

 

The pen will take current-production standard international push-fit converters. I used Waterman converters.

 

But no, the pen will not take current Montblanc converters, which have a screw-on fitting. However, it is possible to find the earlier push-fit MB converter. For me it wasn't worth the effort. Other people would disagree. My Waterman converters fit well enough and worked well enough.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
