Mont Blanc Star Walker Ceramics Ballpoint Pen Real Or Fake


Sportz

Recommended Posts

Hello folks, I’m new here and never in my life have I ever posted on this forum but I have a dilemma I purchase a StarWalker Ceramics Ballpoint Pen, Ident No.: 114749 of E-Bay and I paid £516 or $699 it was brand new i dnot know if its fake or real. I contacted Mont Blan and forwarded the serial no to them the responded by telling me only way to tell for sure is to send it to them for a fee so before I go to that length if I could get some feed back on this site as to what you guys think of my pen instead I would return it to the original seller who is based in the USA and simply ask for a refund they have 94.4 feed back and they only sell Mont Blanc’s negatives are for did not receive the item none for fakes or anything of that nature so I expect this pen to be genuine but how would I know for sure and would hate to have purchased a fake.

 

I did ask the seller was the service book stamped they responded by saying no because they are not an authorized dealer they are only an authorized reseller, as I did not pay full money they say they can not stamp the booklet only if I paid $980 or £706

 

So please have a look at this pen and tell me what is your gut feeling the serial number is etched on the pen clip and under side of the pen clip is written Made in Germany then under that writing it says Metal there is no PIX written. The pen weighs 54 Grams which is about right and that’s all I know. The white outer box has the serial number stamped on a white sticker it says MADE IN GERMANY with a series of numbers one word then five numbers it has no EAN stickers and I knew before purchase that the guarantee book would not be stamped. Though Mont Blanc stated if I send it to them they would validate the pen for me. I was advised not to give the serial number for obvious reasons as I do not want to fall foul of Mont Blanc.

 

Any responses will be gratefully received thank you and looking forward to the responses as I will value what you think of my pen is it REAL or FAKE please do tell, i'm all ears.

Seems legit to me. I have many Starwalker: not this particular model, but Ive handled it at the Boutique. My gut feeling is definitely positive. By the way, I really like this version.

Hey Vintage

 

Thank you for your reply well that is enough for me I'll just keep the pen and be content it is genuine that’s all I wanted was a positive response thank you for eh comment I know the pen does look lovely and very unique I have another star walker and here is a pic of that one as well it is roughly 22 years old and purchased from a pen shop which has since closed unfortunately.

 

I do like the star walker pens very much and are my favourite, nice to have a pen that very few would ever imagine purchasing as most people tend to use the plastic Staedtler which are common place so when this star walker comes out people do notice.

 

Thank you again and if you have any pics of your pens would love to have a look if possible always nice to see other pens and what other reckon are pens of distinction.

 

Again Vintage, appreciate the positive feed back on my Carbon starwalker and your response settles my mind, i'll be keeping the pen with no doubt it is legit.

Some of my favorite models from Montblanc are the StarWalkers as evident in my avatar. Your ceramics is real. I have the same one and it looks exactly the same. I've had it in my display case since release and haven't gotten around to using it yet. It does look nice though and I like it a lot.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
