Fake Jules Verne?

[Smurf]

Noticed a strange looking pen in my *bay feed this afternoon - 171164399891. Seems to have Jules Verne furniture, but is advertised with a "resin" body. This is the first time I've noticed an attempt at a WE - have there been others?

I believe seeing a Kafka that had been faked as well. I know the Vernes has been a popular faked W.E. There are tell tale signs to see which are real, and which are faked though.

By the way, I did report the item. Hopefully someone isn't taken with the fake

That's definitely a fake. The pen is poorly made (the signature on the pen looks like a sticker) and it has an "iridium point" nib, which are big signs that the pen is fake.

Also, the serial number comes up many times when you Google it. I don't think the seller knows he or she is selling a fake, so I will contact him and tell him the bad news.

Almost all of the Montblanc WE, LE SP and regular editions get faked.

That Jules Verne type pen is definitely a fake. It's black with an Iridium Point nib and it's not a piston filler. It's an obvious and common fake.

The ID is now showing up as "invalid or non-existent" - hopefully that means someone was saved from being fleeced!
