Is a Montblanc ballpoint for 30 euros a bargain or a counterfeit?

Montblanc Identifying fakes FAQ entry

A Montblanc ballpoint for 30 euros is with certainty a counterfeit. Such models do not exist in the official range at all but are classic own creations of Chinese counterfeiters that are traded as tourist goods for one or two euros. As a rule of thumb: if a price is unrealistically low, it is not original goods.
