Hi. I am new to collecting Mont Blanc pens. Can anyone please tell me if this is real? I found it very unusual that it came in clear plastic case! ??? ANY info on this pen would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Loretta

Yes it's a counterfeit and even the pen is a bad fake.

I knowingly bougt a fake in the 90s to see what it was like. It was very poor. This pen looks similar to it.

All MB pens are finished in very high quality and also looks very elegant. Recently I was in Kuala Lumpur and stepped into a night market where It's popular for its counterfeit goods and happened to see MB ballpoints and FPs....i was appalled at its poor construction and finishing.

I have not seen this type of packaging and the font 'Mont Blanc' seems odd.

 

The logo's the first dead giveaway, then the weird packaging, and most certainly the folded-back clip.

10 years on PFN! I feel old, but not as old as my pens.

Where is this place? Interesting to look around and improve my observation skill.

Sorry Loretta you have a fake. There are plenty of places online to get authentic used MBs if you are interested.

I don't know how old this packaging is but does look possibly close to the genuine version. There aren't many, but some are sold in this see-through type cases on airlines or places where the pen cannot be removed and handled by the potential customer. This pen in particular is a counterfeit though unfortunately :(

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @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
