Anyone Ever See A Warranty Card Like This?

[asegier]

I am looking at a local Montblanc being sold, and the owner sent me an image of a warranty card that he has. It looks like this:

 

 

 

Now to be honest, I've never seen anything like it. But to be fair he's selling a set, that comes with leather Montblanc goods too, so maybe this card is for that, I don't know.

 

I've only ever seen the card that comes with the pen at the back of the service guide booklet.

 

The seller said that he got it as a present from his company and never used it. Seems like a legit reason at least.

Sweet. Thanks Chrissy! Just the confirmation I needed. This was the only thing I felt was fishy. The rest will have to come after seeing the actual pen on Tues!

Me 2. I have got these when I have ordered online.

I believe that anything could serve as a warranty card as long as it is properly dated and stamped by an authorized retailer. Montblanc sends a copy for verification whenever a service or return is required world wide.

Its just that I found it strange... Cause I thought they'd put it at the back of the booklet. So I was thinking this was fishy. Also the "stamp" looked more like a template then a stamp. Without giving the boutique it was purchased from etc. Seller said that it's likely a bulk purchase from the company so perhaps that's why.

Montblanc do have a bulk purchase scheme available for Companies.

It's okay, you often see these when the pen comes directly from Montblanc UK, rather than an individual boutique. In my experience, it is indeed due to it being a corporate purchase.

Ah I see. I made the purchase today. It's a Montblanc 146 Ballpoint, my first ballpoint from Montblanc and the second Ballpoint I own, ever (the first being a Caran d'Ache Leman). A lovely ballpoint to write with. Although I had some skepticism not only cause of the serial number being a little bit lower on the cap band then usual, I also noticed that the pen is lighter then my 146 Rollerball. Is that normal? This pen being cap-less and all.

The Ballpoint is not lighter than the Rollerball.

If you can get pics and post them here, we might be able to help.

Alright, I'll try to get pics up in a bit!

I was under the impression that you couldn't see images!

~ It depends on the image.

As I've explained in previous posts, some show, some don't. It may depend on the original source.

In this case, a friend in Europe sent the photos to me by e-mail, as happens with any posts in FPN which I request.

It was nice to see them.
