Need Help On Boheme Sharkskin Pen Real Or Fake


1nfinit1

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I have bought this pen from power seller "pen-seller" on eBay aka Michael Rheinlander for 1350 euros. I would like to confirm if it is real or fake.

 

I am a new hand to Mont Blanc pens and I would love to learn more please help me thanks :) the serial code looks a bit printed to the top to me and also the Germany letter on clip is not in capitals.

 

There is the "metal and prix" behind the clip and flashing a flashlight into the retractable nib I can see ruby red.

 

Retractable nib, 18k plated

 

Please help me see if it's real or fake thank you!

I don't recall this pen in the boheme chart pinned at thr tip of this forum. I am no expert in Boheme pens though. I don't know if there was ever one called sharkskin. I think the wrapped ones were all cow leather.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

looks too real to be a fake. ;)

No, honestly, I haven't seen or heard of a Boheme fp with the slide mechanic to be faked, did one of you?

I'm going for authentic. The retractable mechanism is a bit complicated and I don't think there are many fakes about that have one exactly like the authentic Montblanc version.

 

This was a colour that Montblanc produced, so that's another + for it, and the feed looks exactly like the one in my authentic Boheme. :)

I would go to Montblanc and let the pen maintained, If they do that you'll be sure it's authentic. If not you can get your money back,

But that would cost him money that he might not need or want to spend as the pen is authentic and writing perfectly.

Hi, I did a lot of investigation on the Boheme's. I have one without a number and it's also a real one. Its been cleaned now at Montblanc. What I found out in my research that the nib engravings on the real ones are more clear, deeper and sharper. Als I haven't seen a fake one with the twist mechanisms only the bigger ones.

For me you have a real one, its obvious.

 

Enjoy writing with it!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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.
