A reliable authenticity assessment based solely on a single photo is, with the Bohème, not possible, since by now very good counterfeits circulate. On the concrete picture, no obvious defects were recognisable, but several description details were wrong: the Bohème does not have a white-gold nib but a platinum-plated yellow-gold nib, and it does not belong to the Meisterstück line. The spelling 'Mont Blanc' is also a warning sign, since the manufacturer officially appears as Montblanc. The mentioned RRP of 749 euros for a 149 was at the time excessive; in the boutiques rather 660 to 679 euros were charged.
