Another-Is My Montblanc Fineliner Real Or Fake? (Pic Heavy)

Recommended Posts

okay I came across this pen at a good price . the seller seemed nice and had a few good pictures. so I bought it. the seller even included an extra rollerball refill in the price.

when I received and checked the pen, I noticed that there was no serial no. on the pen cap. that made me paranoid....because of the no of starwalker fakes out there. so here are the images...please let me know what you think.I know it is a rollerball/fineliner... but I assumed I can still use the knowledge pool here at fpn. thank you for any help in advance. and excuse me for the pics...I used ipad mini for these. I can upload more pics if needed.

on the packed refill there was a sticker indicating it was imported by entrack ltd (authorised distributor of montblanc in india). I tried to remove it, and it came off.

there is quite a lot of ink damage. on flipping the cushion there is a slot for 2 pens.

just realised....it does have a serial no, but as it is so small, I missed it. I think I need an eye exam... :P

I would still like to hear your opinions.

thank you Hermetic and Fritz Schimpf for confirming.

 

my main reason for concern was the absence of the serial no...which I found later. :headsmack: :wallbash: :D

It looks like an authentic Starwalker Doue FL/RB to me. It's obviously not in it's original box though, as that box previously had a fountain pen in it

You have one Rollerball/Fineliner pen , original Montblanc, congrats.

The refill inside the blister, it is only for ballpoints, so you can not use it for your rollerball, unless you make a modification to your rollerball barrel.

Please excuse my poor english, but it is not my mothern language and maybe it is wrong my grammar. Any Suggestions are welcome.

I guessed as much as only fountain pen ink can leave such a stain....may be the box was for a set. just idle speculation. : )

 

Akdum asli hai, Ji, lafanga MontBlanc pen hai nahi.

thank you for pointing out the ballpoint refill. I was wondering why it was of shorter length than the fineliner refill.

after you pointed out the ballpoint refill...I noticed the pics on the back of the blister pack, how to replace the refill in a ballpoint. :)

      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
