Counterfeit Montblanc Meisterstuck pens can be very difficult to distinguish visually from the authentic product.
To ensure you are buying an authentic product, buy from an authorized Montblanc dealer.
Closely examine the tip of the pen. It should have the detail and craftsmanship shown.
Small serial numbers are etched on the one-piece ring around the top of the pen which also reads "Montblanc."
Counterfeits also have serial numbers but they may be the same number.
