Please Help Me Identify The Authenticity Of 163

Hi,

 

I bought a Mint Meisterstuck Rollerball pen on ebay.

 

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171707401540&alt=web

 

The seller's communication was pretty good and the condition of this pen was good either.

 

I have tested the direct light transparency test of the resin material and the result was yes.

 

However,

by looking thoroughly this pen,

I found something uncertain that require you Experts guy's judgement.

 

※ Because I'm not allowed to post pictures on this forum, I need to use the links for the images.

My apologies.

 

1. Engraving under Clip.

 

I know that some of the models have "Made in Germany" under the clip.

But looking at the quality of the letter, I have question on it.

2. Montblanc engraving on the ring.

 

The engraved letter seems to be a bit shoddy.

Do I have too suspicious eyes?

3. Germany engraving on the head of the clip

 

To me, it seems to be a bit weird.

I hope I'm wrong.

I need our fountainpennetworkers' precious opinion on this matter.

 

Thank you so much.

Only my opinion, but it seems OK. Nothing at all stands out as being wrong, even with the engraving.... but my eyes aren't as good as they once were.

 

You have the stamped booklet, does it also include the serial number, and does it match the number on the clip ring?

I checked the service card and found the match of serial number.

Thanks!

It's really difficult because you have bought one of the most faked Mb Meisterstuck pens.

 

I'm on the fence on this one.

 

The engravings on the bands of my pens are crisper than that.

 

First check to see if anything comes up when you do a Google search for the serial number, then try phoning your nearest Mb head office and asking them if they can tell you what pen that serial number was issued on.

 

Then take it to a Mb boutique and see what they think

Yes Hari, that clinches it as a fake really. I also thought the joint of the top of the clip and the clip band looked slightly dodgy.

yssoul, you should be able to open a case with ebay, saying you have received a counterfeit pen. They will ensure that you get your money back

Geez, that is so shocking.

Thanks for your advice, I'll update the progress.

      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
