Jules Verne Real Or Fake

[Prince]

I can buy this Jules Verne. But I need help. Real or fake? See pictures.

Is the cap three times the weight of the rest of the pen?

The nib looks ok. Not the best photos. If it is a piston fill, you are probably ok. I would Google the serial number though and the edition number. This is a very often faked pen.

[Prince]

How do you google the number? Number/18500 and Jules Verne?

Higher resolution pics.

Not to say that it makes this one legit but the fakes I've seen have had a nib that resembles the two tone nib on a Legrand (only poorly done). This one appears to have the correct nib.

That definitely looks like an authentic Jules Verne to me. I assume it's a standard Montblanc piston filler mechanism? if so, no worries.

 

You need to take care to not let that band next to the nib get corroded.

I would do montblanc Verne ###### and see if you get results. If so, it is usually people reporting a fake unless it is an ad for a previous sale fo the pen. Often hfakers use the same serial number on all the fakes in one production run.

 

Your nib looks fine and the pen looks used which is also a decent sign someone is not tyring to sell you a brand new knockoff from China. But do make sure it is a piston filler. If not, there is no version of the fountain pen that was ever a cartridge/converter filler.

Hello:

The nib looks good and authentic. Please, check the filler system. It must be piston filler.

Enjoy it.

Regards.

The Verne is popular enough to have a run of respectable fakes?

The band fell off mine after it hit the floor a few times...

These days anything with a snow cap is counterfeited.

I guess... wait... those are a joke...

 

I only bought the JV because I came across a $$$ windfall and decided I would buy the Writer's LE that was the new kid in the store at the time.

 

It cannot be a popular pen compared to other LE though...

Thx all.

Wat should the inside of the clip read? Made in Germany and pix?

[pankaj]

Hi Prince ,

 

Your JV appears to be genuine, but a small reservation on the "flaking " or "peel Off " on the section . You can have a comparison with the pics posted below. ( pics are from my MB JV bought from MB Germany directly way back in the year of its release ). Hope pics will add more clarity to your evaluation.

His pen is authentic. The band next to the nib probably just needs cleaning is all. I wasn't suggesting it was flaking or peeling off. It might just be reflections on the photo.

[kaisede]

It's real. I have one that I brought from the MB Boutique and looks like that.

[Croma]

I confirm my opinion. It is authentic MB Verne fountain pen.

Regards.

[Prince]

Thx for all THE help. I now own a JV!!!!!!!!! And I love it!
