Greta Garbo counterfeits are on photos often very well made and hardly distinguishable from originals, which makes an online judgement difficult. Suspicious are sellers who as private persons offer over a hundred allegedly new Montblancs, use poor or blurred photos and set prices far below 50 percent of the list price. Typical fake features like the inscription Iridium Point or a black star in the case should also deter buyers. With realistic observation, a Greta Garbo at a bargain price is neither plausible as genuine nor worth the price as a fake; in such cases, the purchase from a specialist retailer is the better option.
