Without seeing it first, I'd say to try and compare it to Bohémes on the MB site, and even then, that's not fool proof. Is there something about the seller that doesn't seem right? When you get a second, go introduce yourself in introductions. Welcome to the forum

It is in German but one can easily see the differences in the pics.

And with the fountain pens it's very similar with the shown details.

 

Beware of Boheme pens in "precious" materials. There are more fakes in the market than in black resin.

That's actually a great document sums up how generally tell a fake. I always found it easy when pen is in your hand, the quality pass/fail is evident.

 

Generally pens are easily discerned. And watches too. I find it much harder with handbags and belts, they're churning out fakes with qualities that even brand managers can't judge.

There were some Boheme models made with non-retractable nibs. This review mentions one, but there should be more references able to be found:

How can you tell a fake Mont blanc boheme

 

If it's the regular sized version and it unscrews in the middle to reveal a converter with Mont Blanc printed on it in white then it's a fake

There aren't fake "Bohèmes" with retractable nibs.

 

However, there is a real Bohéme with non-retractable nib; it is the Bohème mid-size. A fantastic writer.

      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..

      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
