If the writing instrument shown does not correspond to any documented Montblanc model, it is beyond doubt a counterfeit. Typical recognition features of plagiarisms are unusual spaces between the cap rings, deviating inscriptions like 'MONT BLANC' (instead of Montblanc), occasionally even with spelling errors, and nib inscriptions with general terms like 'Iridium Point'. Such pieces are produced in Asia in large numbers at low prices. The designs resemble no really existing model, which eases identification as a fake.
