My montblanc 22 has an amber dot on the bottom of the piston rather than the traditional white star—is there a reason for this? Could it be fake, rare, etc. Thanks for any help!

This a WAG(wild ass guess!)

Possibly the original white star fell off? I googled the pen and the pictures that showed that end of the pen appeared to indicate that the star was attached to a piece of material and maybe glued on to the pan. The glue failed at some point. Was it like that when you got the pen?

no fake.

 

You are sure it is a piston filler? Normally the amber jewel is used originally on cartridge fillers but not on piston fillers.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
