Mont Blanc Boheme Authenticity


valerier777

Recommended Posts

My friend gave me a Mont Blanc Boheme pen for my birthday. Can you please help me authenticate it. The pen feels real, weights about 26 grams, has "metal pix" engraved under the cap clip. There is Germany on the cap and a serial number also starting with ML and followed by seven digits. So far everything points to it being genuine, but would appreciate your input.

Sorry bud, this is FOUNTAINPENnetwork :) I don't own any Boheme that's not an FP so no idea what to lookout for.

 

Did it come with authentic box, manual, recent receipt from an MB dealer, certificate of authenticity...?

It looks right, but a rollerball is easily faked. The tell-tale sign of a fake is usually revealed by what is printed on the refill insert. Compare that to images from Google. If the refill is fake you can be fairly sure the pen is fake. My only caution would be that a fake MB Boheme might capably hold a genuine MB refill.

I left the pen in the office for a weekend so can't take a pic of the refill. But other than that are there any signs that it could be a fake? It came with a box, manual, and authenticity card (I think - didn't look at it in detail). No receipt since it was a gift.

 

But just judging by pics, any easy tells whether it's a replica or genuine?

 

P.S. I know you guys are fountain pen network, but I see that other pens are being discussed here too. Besides that, I didn't really find any roller ball network LOL.

In the Boheme collection, what happen usually with the fake models are the stones cutting. The correct version has a paramount cut and this is the first thing I see in any Boheme. I am not sure about your stone, I am in doubt.

If it's a gift and came with paperwork I wouldn't worry about it, is there something wrong with it that makes you want to sell or return it? Of course I wouldn't leave it in an office over the weekend either, there's no point in leaving something so nice lying about, take it home with you at the end of the day.

 

We talk about other writing utensils and know something about them, but most people here can't identify non-FPs because that's not what we spend our time on, you might have better luck finding a Montblanc forum of which I'm sure there's a few?

      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
