Boheme Doue And Clear Gemstone Question

[ushersorbet]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently heard that bohemes are no longer sold through authorized retailers. I found these two pieces but both are different from the models Ive seen before (both are rollerball).

 

One is a doue and the other is a traditional boheme but with a clear gemstone. From a sticky post I noticed that black resin pens are only supposed to have a red, black or blue gemstone. I was wondering if this are fakes or they could be older models.

 

I attach some photos

I would be surprised if the first pen is authentic as the Montblanc Doué model #36006 pictures that I've seen show an all gold plated cap without the black trim top portion that this Doué has.

 

However, it's not a pen that I own or have handled, so maybe someone will come along who has an authentic Doué black and gold plated like this one with the black portion at the top of the cap.

 

I am up for being proved wrong.

Thank you for your reply, the black portion on the cap also seemed weird to me. Do you have any comment on the other one with the clear gemstone? I have not been able to find it in a retailer but it could be a old model who knows...

I would be really surprised if there had been one with a clear gemstone on a standard Boheme RB, but I don't know the full list of all Bohemes. I thought there was a list though.

Here's the list of Boheme models:

That clinches it then. it seems like both of these are fakes. The Doué Gold-Plated because of the black part of the cap top and the standard black Bohème because of the clear stone.

Thank you! Today I sent the photos to the retailer who supposedly sold this piece and they confirmed the pen is a fake. The seller is using a real box with stickers from a real retailer but including a fake pen.

And that's not the first time this has happened.....
