The nib looks ok. Not the best photos. If it is a piston fill, you are probably ok. I would Google the serial number though and the edition number. This is a very often faked pen.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Not to say that it makes this one legit but the fakes I've seen have had a nib that resembles the two tone nib on a Legrand (only poorly done). This one appears to have the correct nib.

That definitely looks like an authentic Jules Verne to me. I assume it's a standard Montblanc piston filler mechanism? if so, no worries.

 

You need to take care to not let that band next to the nib get corroded.

How do you google the number? Number/18500 and Jules Verne?

I would do montblanc Verne ###### and see if you get results. If so, it is usually people reporting a fake unless it is an ad for a previous sale fo the pen. Often hfakers use the same serial number on all the fakes in one production run.

 

Your nib looks fine and the pen looks used which is also a decent sign someone is not tyring to sell you a brand new knockoff from China. But do make sure it is a piston filler. If not, there is no version of the fountain pen that was ever a cartridge/converter filler.

The band fell off mine after it hit the floor a few times...

The Verne is popular enough to have a run of respectable fakes?

These days anything with a snow cap is counterfeited.

I guess... wait... those are a joke...

 

I only bought the JV because I came across a $$$ windfall and decided I would buy the Writer's LE that was the new kid in the store at the time.

 

It cannot be a popular pen compared to other LE though...

Hi Prince ,

 

Your JV appears to be genuine, but a small reservation on the "flaking " or "peel Off " on the section . You can have a comparison with the pics posted below. ( pics are from my MB JV bought from MB Germany directly way back in the year of its release ). Hope pics will add more clarity to your evaluation.

His pen is authentic. The band next to the nib probably just needs cleaning is all. I wasn't suggesting it was flaking or peeling off. It might just be reflections on the photo. :)

      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
