Montblanc Meisterstuck Silver Rollerball Pen Help

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have recently acquired a Montblanc Meisterstuck pen and I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a piece missing from the cap. When I close the pen it does not snap on securely.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Thank you,
Sherryl

I'm sorry but your pen is not an authentic Montblanc pen. Mb did make a pen similar to this in hallmarked silver with a plain 'personalisation' panel that would have been to the left of the clip in your first and second picture. That would be where the 925 hallmark was stamped. This pen isn't silver. It's a Chinese replica made from some type of white metal.

 

Mb always hallmark their silver pens.

Hi Sherryl,

 

The cap isn't snapping on securly b/c there is a grey plastic piece iniside called the cap packing that is held in place by the snowcap screw. This plastic piece wears after years and often develops cracks that eventually won't allow the pen to secure into the cap.

 

Usually a certified Montblanc dealer can replace this grey plastic piece for a nominal fee.

 

Hope this helps.

Plus: it has only two gold rings instead of three and the snowflake is plain with no barley pattern.

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

Montblanc will not do anythying to this pen. It isn't a Montblanc pen

I obtained a similar "Montblanc" but it's a fountain pen and in "gold filled" metal (do note quotation marks!).

It is actually a nice little pen. However, it had the same problem. There is a plastic band inside the cap on mine, located just above the lip of the cap. It came loose after the second or third time I used the pen. I simply re-glued it and now it works fine.

 

I have a couple of real Montblancs and they are wonderful; however I really like my fake. And, I am not overly concerned about carrying it around, as I am with the genuine articles. So, see if there is a loose grey or black plastic band inside the cap and slap a bit of super glue on it!

 

Genuinely yours,

Daniel

Chrissy is correct- the pen is a fake.

 

I wouldn't waste time or money on it trying to fix it- hopefully it didn't cost you too much initially.

 

Have you gone back to the seller asking for a refund seeing you only recently acquired it?

      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
