Help Identifying Mb Fountain Pen And Black Case It Came In


SEASICKSEAGULL-TEMP

Recommended Posts

I have come across a Mont Blanc Fountain Pen which I think goes by the name Starwalker, but it came in a black hinged case with latch and a bottle of ink. The inside of the box is imprinted "MEISTERSTUCK". Can anyone tell me if this pen belongs in this box or is it a mix-up? And am I correct in calling the pen a "STARWALKER FOUNTAIN PEN" ? Thank you.

The pen is mixed up in the wrong box, that box is for 149's. If that is indeed a fountain pen, you'd be correct as that is the Platinum and Rubber Starwalker.

 

I'm unsure if the Starwalkers came in other types of boxes but AFAIK, this is the box that should have accompanied that pen.

 

Regards,

The pen might be a Montblanc Starwalker, but no-one can tell for certain from those pictures. You need to post pictures of the pen with it's cap off showing the nib and feed, plus a close-up picture of the clip band showing that there is a correct serial number before it could be assessed as an authentic Starwalker. This model is one of the most counterfeited of all Montblanc pens. -_-

 

Assuming it is an authentic Starwalker, it didn't come with that box and ink bottle. As you rightly say, that box and ink bottle is for a Montblanc Meisterstück pen, not a Starwalker. It probably started life with a Montblanc Meisterstück 149 pen inside it. :)

As stated previously the pen and box/ink do not come together. Starwalker pens by default require cartridges. You can buy and use converters in the pens so that you can use bottled ink. MB would not though see the pen with ink which it is not designed to use.

Thank you very much for repsonding andf helping me sort this out. I also have a Mont Blanc 149..and it is probably in the box that the Starwalker is suppose to be in. So that solves that problem. Is it safe to post the serial number of the Starwalker on this site? Will someone from FPN be able to confirm if the pen is authentic? Or do I have to contact Mont Blanc?

 

Once again..thanks for your help....Jeff

People will not be able to confirm whether a serial number is valid or not. I don't see much point therefore to post it.

 

What you could do is describe how the number is constructed. People could then confirm if there pens have a similar structure of serial number. I can't read the number on mine so can't assist.

Also, google the serial number and see if it shows up on other pens. Amazing how often the fakers reused the same serial number.

Just thought that I would let everyone know that I took the Starwalker Fountain Pen to the Mont Blanc Store on Bloor Steet here in Toronto today. The women I spoke with looked at the pen and all the paperwork and confirmed that it is an ORIGINAL MONT BLANC STARWALKER. Not a fake.

I have 3 other Mont Blanc fountain pens here that I will take to the store, for her to will verify are also authentic.

      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
