I thought seeing more of the pen might help someone tell me what style it's supposed to be. Thanks.

That looks real to me re design detail, but I do not know the model number. It's more in the "classic" series but I only have 80s ballpoints in that line, no fps.

 

The "M" in the packaging looks odd - that erector set M look - I don't recall having seen that before. But the thermographed background is expensive printing...such as MB would use...

 

Was MB using the circle and open star on some nibs in the 90s? Can anyone else verify?

Im far from an expert but that looks to be an 1980's Generations series. Not sure why you consider it fake. The nib appears to have the correct markings, shape, etc. for that model.

Thank you very much, to all. My question came up b/c the instructions appear to be labeled Meisterstuck Solitaire and I know that's not it. The other reason was my inability to find ANY pen that looked like this. Even the German website another poster was kind enough to provide for me didn't have anything resembling this pen or nib. Thanks to this information, I've seen the Generation nib and see that it looks the same. The bottom of the cap says "Montblanc Classic Montblanc Germany". I think you've given me enough to find the model, although it will take some time. The instructions appear to be 'generic' as they have information for multiple models (piston converter, cartridge, etc.).

Again, many thanks for your time.

customer of mine has 5 of those, 3 sporting gold nibs and 2 with chrome trim/flex steel nibs. I'll take pictures for you later. They're original, he purchased them in germany in a boutique, the salesperson recommended this cheap pens to him because he asked for an alternative to risking his meisterstücks on his practice.

Please don't send PM's, use my e-mail instead. Thanks!

Thanks, yet again. I found a few ballpoint & rollerball pens with this 'style'. :thumbup:

      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
