A high number of positive ratings does not protect against counterfeits, since powersellers also occasionally sell plagiarisms, sometimes without knowing it themselves. Cufflinks are regarded as particularly counterfeit-prone products, and the quality of the plagiarisms is increasing. Authenticity features lie in the workmanship of the bolts (ribbed and solid) and the arrangement of the stars, which on originals are positioned in opposite directions on the two cufflinks. Packaging and materials can vary depending on batch, since these are bought-in items. A reliable authenticity check can only be carried out by a Montblanc boutique; the regular specialist dealer is not allowed to carry these accessories. In doubt, the legal right of return should be used.
