Beware: Every "Montblanc" this seller has is counterfeit!

I have seen a lot of good Montblanc fakes, some of them even turning up here on our pen forum from "proud" owners.

Hong Kong is awash with counterfeits of which this seller is a fantastic example.

Some of these are good and others completely off. Notice that the seller never appears to mention "Montblanc" in his auctions, but uses other MB key words like "Precious Resin" and so forth.

Thanks for the info Richard. By the way I took your recommendation and ordered some leather from Renaissance Arts and was most pleased. I got the folder holder and it looks and feels like it will be around a lot longer than me.

Hmm, so far the seller looks like only selling roller and ballpens. I must admit the quality is very high indeed and one can easily be fooled. Many thanks for the alert Richard!

I understand. I purchased the same thing and had a medieval strap added. Love it!

Richard, Thanx for the heads up on that Ebay seller. I'm safe because I have a policy of not buying anything off of Ebay!!!

You really have to watch sales of MB's on Ebay. There are some crazy good replicas out there and if you don't "know" the seller you will get stung.

I think we finally got this guy off Ebay, but he'll be back....
