    Default Another fake Montblanc on eBay?

    Hi all

    Just seen what is possibly another fake Montblanc on eBay

    Item number 181193738487

    What do you recon fake or real, going by all the negatives for selling fake Montblancs I know what I would be guessing.

    Since the pics aren't too clear, so what is it that stands out as it being a fake?

    those are stock pics he is using. Not even his own. And what is a Homage pen? It is either a MB or it isn't. I never heard of a MB Meisterstuck hommage pen.

    Homage pen example would be a Jinhao 159. Obvious styling queues taken from another well known pen but uses it's own company branding. To be a true homage pen, it cannot have any MB branding. Stay away from that auction. That's a fake not an homage. Seller using tricky language to intentionally mislead.

    Fakes pop up hourly. If I posted a thread for every fake pen I saw on ebay I’d have 10,000 posts by now.

    I'm not commenting on if it's authentic or not (although this looks to be a ridiculous attempt at a scam), but let's get our facts straight here people.

    EDIT- LOL at him using a partial description from a Starwalker "Emblem in transparent cap top."
