Recommended Posts

Hello ,guys !

I am new to the forum ,just purchase my first montblanc for myself ,I have bought a 145 for my friend as a gift for doing the surgery on my mom ! So I am digging the montblanc,

I have bought the Greta(mint condition) but is missing the box that it came though .I still have to wait for the pen to arrive. I am looking for the box in new or pristine or mint condition.Of course I will pay for it ,reasonable prices of course .I really wanted a nice pen .Since I bought the pen for my friend I fell in love with the pen.

Hopefully some of you guys have a box that is just laying around !!

Thank you very much for your time !!!

Hello and welcome to FPN. :W2FPN:

 

There are many counterfeit Montblanc Greta Garbo pens around that are usually sold without boxes. The 145 is also a commonly counterfeited pen. I hope you will be fortunate enough to have bought authentic ones.

 

If you bought them from a Montblanc boutique you should be safe enough, but not having a box for a Greta Garbo sounds bad.

 

The very first identifier to look for is that the authentic Greta Garbo always comes with a heart shaped hole in the nib and that it matches the images on the Montblanc web-site in every small detail.

By the way, buying or selling directly within the Montblanc forum isn't allowed. Fountain Pen Network does have a classifieds section, but you need to be here a month and have 25 posts to be able to post a classified advertisement.

 

The biggest source of MB boxes I know of is eBay.

      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
