Help With Authenticity Check! Starwalker M105657

[jerrbear]

I've been eyeing montblancs for a while and I recently splurged on a montblanc starwalker ballpoint on ebay (paid $200)--and now I'm freaking out worrying if what I bought is a counterfeit. I snapped a few quick pics--and I'd greatly appreciate any tips.

 

-I tried shining a flashlight through it and it does appear to see-through reddish hue

-underneath the clip, it says "made in germany" but there's no sign of "pix". I'm also concerned because the clip feels very light, almost as if it were stamped.

 

Again, thanks in advance for advice you guys can give me!

 

Edit: removed serial.

Nothing I can see on those pictures leaps out at me and suggests fake. What letters do the serial number start with, and is it perfectly straight and level?

Hi Chrissy,

 

Ok--I was really suspicious because after I bought it, the guy who I bought it from immediately listed another identical starwalker for sale which kind of sent me into a panic.

 

The serial looks pretty good--I attached a closeup of it.

This is definitely a authentic Starwalker. There is nothing that says otherwise.

Ok. Well that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks so much Chrissy and NIckRS!

I have the same model, bought at the Montblanc Boutique. Everything seems perfect to me. Enjoy !

That serial number looks authentic to me.

 

p.s. please can I suggest you don't leave it visible on here for too long as there are people about who would like to copy it and make fakes using the same number

I don't see anything suggesting a fake either, but you could take it into the MB boutique listed in the booklet (or any boutique near you) and ask them to check it over...

I also have the same model. Everything seems perfect to me. It is authentic, no doubt.

The pen looks and seems to be authentic. Nothing to worry about! Especially with the stamped warranty booklet. Enjoy the pen, nice price! And welcome to Montblanc

@Chrissy--Yeah ill take the serial down.

 

Glad to be here--I'll see everyone around!
