I bought a pen from them a while back and it wasnt the smoothest of experiences but the pen was authentic. They originally quoted a 2-3 week delivery, I planned on 3-4, and it took 5 (something like that). The pen itself was great. You dont get MB warranty or free nib exchange so make sure you know what you want.

Thanks, all. 40-50% off retail for an authentic MB is hard to pass up. They do have very high end watches as well, so they must be legit. Perhaps the customer service reviews are poor and shipping times variable, but the prices can not be matched anywhere. Im not a MB expert, but I ordered a MB 147 traveler platinum fountain pen this week and it arrived in 2 days! The reason for this post is that everything about the pen, box, and warranty booklet look legit, but a couple of questions regarding authenticity:

 

1. The cap band reads MONTBLANC MEISTERSTUCK, there is no Pix. Is this ok?

 

2. The serial number starts with MB and the next letter or number looks like a G or a 6 (actually not a G or a 6, but Im not sure what this symbol is?!?). Then this symbol is followed by a letter, 2 numbers, 2 letters, and finally one number (9 total numbers/letters/symbol). There is no other marking such as Germany on the clip band.

 

3. The underside or inside of the clip reads Made in Germany METAL. It does not say Pix.

 

4. The nib is marked Au585 and StøD and MONTBLANC. There is no 14k or 18k stamp (not sure which it is?).

 

I know that MB changes these things periodically but I just want to decide whether I have a fake pen and should return it or not?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Their items are authentic. As stated above, customer service is spotty and they are not an authorized dealer so no free nib exchange or warranty, but items are 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
