Hello,

 

I've recently purchased a MB Einstein FP on my yearly Thanksgiving trip to Vegas. I purchased it from the boutique, sealed, I even opened it there so I'm not worried about it being a fake at all. However, I failed to find any hallmarks or a serial number on it, only the limited edition number on the lower cap ring and the Au750 and 18K engravings on the nib. What I am wondering is where the Ag925 and serial number would be located if there are any, of course.

 

Thanks in advance,

Z

Hello "Z", there is no silver mention, because the fp is not in silver -- I know, it sounds a bit strange for such limited editions as the 3000 but...

You will find details in this official MB page:

Even though it is not solid platinum it is platinum plated. I'd far rather have one of these than a silver pen. Silver is quite cheap and the tarnishing can be annoying.

 

In regards to serial numbers, the only one I'm away of that has a serial number is the Hemingway (I wonder if the Medici does too). Instead you only have the issue number and confirmation as to how many pens were made, these make the serial number surplus to requirements.

 

Enjoy you pen zfarrias1. I know I enjoy mine.

I've just come to the realization that I mixed the characteristics of the Einstein and Hitchcock pens. I read on the MB website that the Hitchcock has 952 sterling silver fittings, and the Einstein has a platinum-plated body. For some reason, I remembered that as the Einstein having a platinum-plated 925 sterling silver body. How typical of me :blush:

 

Thanks!

Hmm wired, my Hitchcock and Einstein etc has A Serialnumber, xxxx/3000.

 

Thats an issue number, not a serial number

In order to appreciate the sweet, you must truly taste the bitter....

Ok, for me it was always a Serial number because Montblanc knows that the pen with my number is exactly mine :)

Apologies for bumping an old thread...

 

But i was looking at my Einstein the other day and noticed they do have a serial number as well as the issue number number X/3000..

 

Unscrew the the piston knob and the serial number will be engraved there :)

Perfect timing, this is my first login on FPN in a long while.

 

Actually I had noticed the serial number under the piston knob once over the course of the last two years :lol:

 

Coincidentally, my Einstein is currently in Hamburg undergoing maintenance on the piston (it was extremely tight). I sent it off around Thanksgiving; it seems to be taking quite a while. Has anybody else had this long of a turnaround on any of their LEs? I've yet to send in my Swift for any work so I really have no frame of reference for what would be a "normal" time frame.

      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
