Is This Mont Blanc Pen Real, Please?

Hi. I am new to collecting Mont Blanc pens. Can anyone please tell me if this is real? I found it very unusual that it came in clear plastic case! ??? ANY info on this pen would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Loretta

Yes it's a counterfeit and even the pen is a bad fake.

I knowingly bougt a fake in the 90s to see what it was like. It was very poor. This pen looks similar to it.

All MB pens are finished in very high quality and also looks very elegant. Recently I was in Kuala Lumpur and stepped into a night market where It's popular for its counterfeit goods and happened to see MB ballpoints and FPs....i was appalled at its poor construction and finishing.

I have not seen this type of packaging and the font 'Mont Blanc' seems odd.

 

The logo's the first dead giveaway, then the weird packaging, and most certainly the folded-back clip.

10 years on PFN! I feel old, but not as old as my pens.

Where is this place? Interesting to look around and improve my observation skill.

Sorry Loretta you have a fake. There are plenty of places online to get authentic used MBs if you are interested.

Petaling Street or "Chee Cheong Gai" in Cantonese. It's located near the Puduraya Bus Station.

I don't know how old this packaging is but does look possibly close to the genuine version. There aren't many, but some are sold in this see-through type cases on airlines or places where the pen cannot be removed and handled by the potential customer. This pen in particular is a counterfeit though unfortunately :(

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

      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
