If you get a vague response to your question - don't bid.

Before you bid, you may want to get an emailed assurance from the seller that it is a genuine Montblanc - because if turns out that it isn't, you can ask for your money back or get the auction site involved.

A genuine Montblanc's feed will be aligned perfectly with the ink aperture between the tines (a genuine article is accurately produced down to the smallest detail).

Ask for a picture of the underside/feed of the nib section.

Counterfeit products are clearly not as well done and is not as deeply done. On genuine pens the etching is deep and precise, very sharp. The exception to this is the Genuine Montblanc StarWalker pen - it does have the words 'iridium' stamped on the nib section, is nearly always silver (hence, this pen is faked more than any other). To my knowledge, Mont Blanc do not stamp 'iridium tip' on their nibs.

Always look and ask, if necessary, for a close up picture of the nib section - iridium tip and 'Made in Germany' stamped on the nib is a dead give away. The nib is the most difficult aspect to fake in any pen.Here are some basic tips on how to spot a fake Montblanc and also a couple of videos that reinforce the various steps one can take to reduce the risks.
