#Montblanc red serial numbers

As such, many, if not most, MB serial numbers are not assigned to a pen owner or provenance of any kind.

In a security fail for the actual Montblanc company, they don’t track their serial numbers. Research quickly showed it on fountain pens, rollerballs and ballpoints. Lo and behold, this pen turned out to have one of the most faked numbers for faux Montblanc pens: EN1340798. That’s when my brilliant fiancÃ©e recommended searching the number on the clip band.ĮN1340798 is one of the most frequently used serial numbers on fake Mont Blanc pens. There was so much right and wrong with the pen. But, inside the barrel was a metal threaded space when there are no metal threads in an authentic MB Classique. Open the pen, and it took an authentic Montblanc rollerball refill. This cap was threaded…and LeGrands are supposed to be threaded…though this pen was too skinny to be a LeGrand. My first clue something was wrong came when I tried taking off the cap.

It came with a convincing box and set of papers! The appraisal customer told me it was a LeGrand.Ī quick inspection showed it had a serial number in the clip band, Pix written under the clip, perfect cap band nomenclature.

I had been told it was a Montblanc rollerball, and it looks very much like a Montblanc Classique. It came with a collection of vintage pens for appraisal. This is one of the most convincing fake Montblanc fountain pens we have ever seen.Īfter 14 years in the pen business, I have just encountered one the very best fake Montblanc pens I’ve ever seen.
