I think the configuration of 18K bitone without the visible STOD mark (it will be there in the heel) PLUS the Split HR feed should have been the very last pens sent out by the factory with the venerable split feeders. It is a simple task for a nib tech like Mike to straighten that nib with one tine crooked.

"Brand New Montblanc Meisterstuck Rollerball Pen" with a photo of a fountain pen does not bode well for the authenticity of this item.

Very similar listings, with very similar phrasing/spelling mistakes and photographs (including a fake-looking pouch) appear regularly from supposedly different vendors in the UK and Ireland. Caveat emptor! (buyer beware).

You don't know what you need until you realise you haven't got it.

They also have in common a very low eBay "buy it now" price plus a fake-looking converter.

Both listings are gone now, so I'd assume they were fakes (not sold, gone!)

Increase your IQ, use Linux AND a Fountain pen!!http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk11/79spitfire/Neko_animated.gif

Agreed that it looks fake - the box, the converter and the barrel etc.

 

But... if you had shown me the cap on its own, I'd say it looks like a genuine F Scott Fitzgerald WE cap. However, the fact that it matches what likes like a F Scott piston at the top of the pen (which clearly can't be genuine, assuming it is fixed in place and doesn't twist) suggests that the whole thing is suspect, or at least a Frankenstein in part.

This is a 100% fake Starwalker type not a fake Boheme type

I'm suspicious of this Boheme....

And as for this, well.

Both very obvious fakes. That fake Montblanc Meisterstück really made me laugh. :D

The converter in the Boheme does look odd but if that is a fake then the nib is scary close to looking authentic.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
