Hello,

 

I recently was given a Montblanc VIP as a gift that was purchased off ebay. The seller had a good reputation, and I know a bit about this pen, but was looking for the overall opinion of this community. Does the pen appear to be authentic? Are there any concerns I should have?

 

Thanks everyone.

A great Aurora pen.

 

 

This version was not made by Aurora for Montblanc. The Aurora version has a different nib and clip. Look http://www.fountainpen.de/old-70er-vip-pen.htm

I have this same pen along with the matching roller ball. I bought it new in Bonn, Germany many years ago. Yours looks like the real thing.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
