The best way is to be sure you are getting a real authentic pen is to buy from a reputable Montblanc store. If they try to sell you large volumes of pens for much less than they are worth, you can be pretty sure the pens are not bona fide Montblancs. If you do find what looks like a great deal online, you can test this theory by asking the seller if they have more pens for sale. Most people selling second-hand pens know how much they are worth and will price them accordingly. If the price seems too good to be true, it likely is. While we all like to think that we are getting a good deal, there are not many Montblanc pens for sale well below value. These cheaper nibs often have an inconsistent ink flow, which may be noticeable as well. Counterfeit manufacturers can save money on materials by cutting corners on the nib. Does the tip feel too stiff and unyielding compared to other luxury pens? This rigid feeling may be a symptom of a nib made with a hard metal rather than soft gold. The writing experience that a nib gives to the user is another clue. Remember that everything about a Montblanc pen is done with exactness. Counterfeit nibs, on the other hand, may appear gold, but on closer examination, you may find that it is merely gold-colored paint sloppily applied to the tip of the nib. Montblanc takes great care when overlaying gold on their nibs. However, if you compare a Montblanc nib to a fake nib, the differences become apparent. The flaws may not be immediately obvious. First, take a look at the quality of the construction and engraving on the nib itself. The nib of a Montblanc pen can offer two different types of clues when it comes to authenticity. Most pen forgers skip that step and use a different style of packaging.
Yes, one could buy the packaging online and use it to sell forgeries. If your pen comes in a flimsy felt sleeve, you can be pretty sure that it is not in its original packaging. The interior should be molded to hold the pen and may be lined with velvet. You should expect a leather or faux leather exterior on a hinged box. Typically, these pens come in cases made for Montblanc. The packaging for a Montblanc pen is a perfect complement to the pen itself. Most fake Montblanc pens will be missing this mark. The second engraved mark on the pen is the word “Pix.” This word should be on the underside of the pen clip on pens dating from 1997 and later. Don’t worry if the font used to engrave the serial number appears to vary from pen to pen. You may need to grab a magnifying glass to make out the numbers, but they should be there. The first is a serial number on the clip band. Montblanc pens manufactured since 1990 should have two different engravings. We might be stating the obvious here, but be careful not to shine the bright light in your eyes while performing this test, as you could damage your eyesight. The light shining around the pen’s edges will cause a dark red hue to appear around the pen. You can see this color if you hold the shaft of the pen up to bright light. While many Montblanc pens appear black to the naked eye, their resin shaft is actually a dark red wine color. This resin is of high quality and feels different from a pen made of plastic or metal. Montblanc uses a unique material they call “precious resin” in the shaft of their pens.
