If the packaging is recognisably counterfeit, one should basically keep one's distance from the purchase, even if the fountain pen still appears genuine on the mostly deliberately detail-poor photos. On closer inspection, e.g., the grip section often does not look original-true, and the assured properties cannot be verified based on poor pictures. Even if the seller acts in good faith, that does not protect the buyer legally and financially. The risk of receiving a fake is in such cases simply too great.
