Is My Mb Meisterstuck Authentic?

[jhinkens]

I purchased this Montblanc fountain pen new, many years ago. So long ago I can't remember when, but I'm guessing early 90's. I don't have any of the original paperwork or sales receipt, but I do have the case I received with it. It has the MB logo on the top cover and cast into the lower half of the case is 'Gift Box Made in Holland'.

 

I've decided to sell it along with a bunch of other stuff I no longer want or need. When I began to post a listing on Ebay, I was shocked to see all the talk about counterfeit Montblanc products. So I decided I better get some advice on whether my pen is the real deal.

 

The serial number on the top ring shows: 'BB138538'

The other side of the top ring shows: 'W.-GERMANY'

The middle ring reads: 'MEISTERSTUCK-GERMANY'

The Nib from the top shows '4810', then the MB logo, then 18K, then Montblanc, then 750.

There is no 'PIX' text under the clip. It's all blank, but it does look hefty, not stamped from a thin piece of metal.

The cap does not thread on, it snaps on and feels very smooth and the 'click' is soft but secure.

The case is made of black resin/plastic and reads Gift Box Made in Holland' on the bottom.

 

Here are some pics to show what I've got. If anyone can help me determine if it's authentic, and if so, what it might be worth, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Joe

It looks authentic to me. I've never seen a feed like that on a fake.

 

Everything seems to add up to it being a Meisterstuck 144 or Classique FP

I agree.. Looks original for me too...

That's great news. Thanks for much Chrissie and Mr. Rene for your replies and taking the time to look it over.

Best to you,
Joe

It looks authentic to me, as well.
