What Does Mb Service Cost? (I Know, I Know....)

[Monty145]

I have a 145 that has uneven and usually insufficient ink flow. There is also a 10% chance the pen is counterfeit. I'm inclined to send it in to get thsi fixed, which will also result in a de-facto authentication since they will not work on pens that are not authentic. So what are they going to charge for something like this?

 

I know this is one of those posts that has certainly been seen here before, but before you drop me on to the jagged rocks below and then laugh at my mangled corpse (no pictures, please), just know that I did a search for this and came up snake eyes.

When I needed to repair a roller ball, I called a boutique and asked. I would also ask if there is an inspection fee of sorts if they determine it is not real. My .02. Hope it works out for you.

On a recent repair question for someone's ball point i called a boutique. I was told $125 to repair a damaged MB ballpoint body.

The cost of Montblanc service depends on what is required.

 

Why do you think your pen might be a fake. If it is a counterfeit pen, Montblanc will destroy it.

There are good technicians who will adjust your nib for a more reasonable price. That is what I would do for a nib adjustment.

I just sent in a couple of Writers Editions for lubrication/repair of the piston. Price came back as $99 plus tax per pen. Seems the rate has gone up from $79 the last time I sent in pens.

Google the serial number, lots of fakes have the same number so you'll see lots of results and may even spot the same serial number on sale. Then see if the nib is attracted to a magnet or not.

 

If both these tests indicate that it's a real pen then post some good pics here. The people here usually do an excellent job verifying these.

That price is ridiculous...99 bucks per pen, I could do 25 each, LOL
