Amazing Pen
I've been buying and using Montblanc pens for 30 years. I first saw this pen at the Montblanc store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris two years ago. The pen then was I think €1200 or about $1300-1400. I didn't buy it but I've admired that pen for two years. I regretted not buying it in Paris. Watch Warehouse showed me an ad in programmatic (I do advertising for a living). I was suspicious about the quality or the genuine authenticity of the pen. So, I bought it (on a CC) and was like "well, we'll see." I have not had a chance to have the pen authenticated by Montblanc - but I suspect it is legitimate. Since I've been buying and using their pens for so long... I know what to look for... and everything is where it should be in terms of hallmark notes of the genuine thing. If it isn't legitimate - it's an amazingly good copy... ;) The pen is amazing to write with - if you like solid pens. It feels amazing when using it. It is impressive for people to see when you take it out - I get more compliments about this pen than I do about the Doue or others that I have. Since Montblanc doesn't seem to sell the LeGrand in this style anymore - that's why I took the chance and bought it here. I'm glad I did.
