Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Unfortunately from the info supplied there is no way to tell if it is real or fake.

From the pics, I thought it was fake.

[Robertpenfan]

Why do you think it's fake? THX Rob

hey Robert, I think my guess was wrong. I didn't realize how bright the blue stone is. I just looked at the same pen on the MB site. The stone is in fact very bright.

THX. Does the nib look right? That's what I couldn't tell. THX Rob

Like Jar said, you cannot authenticate the pen from the information provided. A lot of web pages selling counterfeits use pictures of authentic items in their listings. What you seen might not be what you get.

 

A quick search of therealreal.com shows that there are complaints with the BBB as well as on forums of knock off items being received. I would have the pen authenticated as soon as received.

The pictures look like stock photos instead of pictures of the actual item being sold. For me that always raises a red flag unless it is on the manufacturers website. Used items should show the actual item not stock photos.

Don't think they're stock photos, bc you can see dust & imperfections, but will see when arrives. THX Rob

I purchased a MB Boheme from that website a few months ago. It was the real thing. The photos on the website were from the actual item.

I see nothing that makes me suspect it's a fake.
