Rollerball pens have an additional feature that helps you authenticate them: refills. This Mont Blanc Starwalker rollerball pen fake nearly had us convinced until we couldn’t fit an authentic MB refill in it. Yet, the vast majority of the fakes leave it out. Of course, in recent years, the very best of the Mont Blanc replica makers have started including that feature. However, starting around 1997, Mont Blanc began including that detail to help customers authenticate its pens. It is nearly impossible to get a good photo of that with our lighting rig. It doesn’t help, that Mont Blanc actually reuses some of its serial numbers and didn’t keep the best records of who got which serial number and where the serial numbers were sent.Īnother detail to look for on authentic Mont Blanc writing instruments is the word “Pix” written under the clip. The vast majority of fakes leave out the serial number. Only the very best fakes include a serial number, and that only started in more recent years.
Since 1991, Mont Blanc has included a tiny serial number on the clip band of its pens. There are 3 obvious details to search for when you look at a Mont Blanc pen made of precious resin. Look closely at the gold-plated clip band of the cap to see a finely machine engraved serial number.
