Montblanc Starwalker Serial Number Location
My name is Mark Lim and I'm an artist. My life revolves around pens and pencils and I choose my tools much like a samurai chooses a sword or a baker chooses a bakey. That bakes good. Anyway, I collect Montblanc pens and I'm writing this guide to help you spot a fake one in an Ebay auction. There are different grades of fake pens. Some are horrible and you can spot right away with the naked eye.
Montblanc Starwalker Midnight Black Fineliner
Montblanc Starwalker Extreme Ballpoint
Some are 'Grade A' replicas and have to be taken apart or used by a professional to authenticate. I wrote this guide specifically to spot 'Grade A' fakes:) Part 1: How to tell if your pen is a Montblanc ------------------------------------------------------------ The first thing I look for in the pen is the serial number. Almost all Montblanc pens have serial numbers on the ring connected to the clip. Here are a few pictures of where to look: Meisterstuck A good price for a Meisterstuck would be about $100-$150 on Ebay. I would be suspicious of anything less. The Meisterstuck is the most commonly faked Montblanc pen so be sure to check the ring for the serial number. *Normally the number is two letters followed by seven numbers but older models might have less numbers* It should also say 'Germany' around the ring.
