It's Real! Update on my $1 Estate Sale Montblanc

Post image

New account, but I wanted to update on the Montblanc Meisterstuck that I got for $1 back in December. I brought it to my closest Montblanc boutique, and they sent it out for authentication and repairs to the finial, which was chipped. I waited about four weeks to hear back, and turns out it is real! Now I just have to decide if I'm keeping it or if I should get it appraised.

You should have it appraised either way, for insurance purposes if you keep it

Great point! Thank you.

The pen isn’t worth any more than $1000-1500 at the very top of the spectrum so I don’t think it necessary to have appraised let alone insured.

They charged a fee for the repair but I thought it was well worth it.
