Mont Blanc Greta Garbo Ball Point Identification

[Gogsie78]

Hi there.

 

I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone can help me identify whether or not my pen is a genuine or a fake. I was left this Pen a while ago but I am not sure if it is a genuine pen.

 

I have tried shining light through the barrel and it does shine ruby red. There is pix and Germany UN the underside of the clip.

 

I look forward to your thoughts

I cannot seem to post a picture

I think this is the best fake to date. You may compare yours to it.

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

 

It is nearly impossible to tell if a modern Montblanc is authentic from pictures. Often we can tell if something is a fake but particularly when it comes to ball points or rollerballs instead of pens verification is near impossible. Today's fakes show all of the signs you mention.

 

As an example, here is a whole page of such fakes.

What I would do is to search for 'Montblanc Greta Garbo' on ebay and then look at all of the pictures to see if the pen you have matches the pictures you find.

 

It's almost impossible to tell for sure whether your pen is authentic or not from the pictures you have posted. However, at least it is worth another look as it doesn't immediately jump out as a fake.

 

Do you have the original large 'leatherette' presentation box with a warranty booklet?

[Gogsie78]

Unfortunately not I'm afraid. I have a small leather pouch in which the pen fits into. seems a minefield

From the accuracy of the embedded pearl and brilliant resin, I thought that it is original... but is more difficult say that it is at 100%... is more easy judge a FP than a BP....!!

Indeed, the engraving of Montblanc in the ring is a lot better than the fake presented as well as the pearl, But if you really want to be sure you should take it to a boutique, see if there's one nearby.
