Help Identifying Mb Fountain Pen And Black Case It Came In


SEASICKSEAGULL-TEMP

Recommended Posts

I have come across a Mont Blanc Fountain Pen which I think goes by the name Starwalker, but it came in a black hinged case with latch and a bottle of ink. The inside of the box is imprinted "MEISTERSTUCK". Can anyone tell me if this pen belongs in this box or is it a mix-up? And am I correct in calling the pen a "STARWALKER FOUNTAIN PEN" ? Thank you.

The pen is mixed up in the wrong box, that box is for 149's. If that is indeed a fountain pen, you'd be correct as that is the Platinum and Rubber Starwalker.

 

I'm unsure if the Starwalkers came in other types of boxes but AFAIK, this is the box that should have accompanied that pen.

 

Regards,

The pen might be a Montblanc Starwalker, but no-one can tell for certain from those pictures. You need to post pictures of the pen with it's cap off showing the nib and feed, plus a close-up picture of the clip band showing that there is a correct serial number before it could be assessed as an authentic Starwalker. This model is one of the most counterfeited of all Montblanc pens. -_-

 

Assuming it is an authentic Starwalker, it didn't come with that box and ink bottle. As you rightly say, that box and ink bottle is for a Montblanc Meisterstück pen, not a Starwalker. It probably started life with a Montblanc Meisterstück 149 pen inside it. :)

As stated previously the pen and box/ink do not come together. Starwalker pens by default require cartridges. You can buy and use converters in the pens so that you can use bottled ink. MB would not though see the pen with ink which it is not designed to use.

Thank you very much for repsonding andf helping me sort this out. I also have a Mont Blanc 149..and it is probably in the box that the Starwalker is suppose to be in. So that solves that problem. Is it safe to post the serial number of the Starwalker on this site? Will someone from FPN be able to confirm if the pen is authentic? Or do I have to contact Mont Blanc?

 

Once again..thanks for your help....Jeff

People will not be able to confirm whether a serial number is valid or not. I don't see much point therefore to post it.

 

What you could do is describe how the number is constructed. People could then confirm if there pens have a similar structure of serial number. I can't read the number on mine so can't assist.

Also, google the serial number and see if it shows up on other pens. Amazing how often the fakers reused the same serial number.

Just thought that I would let everyone know that I took the Starwalker Fountain Pen to the Mont Blanc Store on Bloor Steet here in Toronto today. The women I spoke with looked at the pen and all the paperwork and confirmed that it is an ORIGINAL MONT BLANC STARWALKER. Not a fake.

I have 3 other Mont Blanc fountain pens here that I will take to the store, for her to will verify are also authentic.
