#MONTBLANC PEN WARRANTY SERIAL NUMBERS#
#MONTBLANC PEN WARRANTY SERIAL#

Stayed on the phone with me answering questions for 15-20 minutes. They were wonderful taking my call regarding MB pens. Lastly, the nationaly known pen store I referred to was Fountain Pen Hospital. A personal note, they've always done right by me. And they try to work as fairly as they can with customers regarding warranty work because of this. It was from this call where I got the info on returning the fakes.ДЄnd also, for what it's worth, they said they were aware of the after market re-sale and modifcation of MB pens. Of course it varies depending on age but the woman went to collect her own 146's, I think she had 3 of varing vintage, and counted digits as well as giving me the letter prefix.

From my original post, I remember we talked about how many letters and digits were suppose to be in a serial number. We had a super conversation and if the person I talked to didn't have an answer, she went and got someone who knew. I was pretty shocked when they said nope, can't do it cause MB don't keep that info on file unless it's a LE pen. I also wanted to know about the 'PIX' on the pens as well.

Having no experience in MB pens and knowing about knock off MBs, I called them hoping they could tell me when my pens were made by the SN's. Why it took place was I had a chance to get in trade, 2 older MB 146's. I think that was US HQ and the service station in the US at the time, not sure though. I remember that phone conversation with MB in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania very well still. The quote Ed Ronax is using came from one of my early posts. Basically, no properly filled in service guide, no warrenty. The date it is purchased is to be recorded in this booklet as well, so that if in the 2 year warrenty timeframe you have mechanical or material defects (sorry.dropping your writing instrument is not covered under warrenty )they can see the service guide, match it to the writing instrument and see that it is within the 2 year warrenty and provide the service needed. Now it does serve another purpose, it is supposed to be recorded in the service guide (warrenty book) that comes with the writing instrument. 145, 146, 149.quantities of all, and unless they came in at the same exact time, the numbers show a diverse arrangement of letters and numbers. I see these numbers every day (I do work at a Montblanc Boutique) and there really is no method to the madness. It is in a nutshell.a tracking number, just like UPS and FedEx have on thier packages. MB does not keep an active list of 'serial numbers' to authenticate authorized or unauthorized product. That way Montblanc can always trace back the writing instuments path from their departure at the headquarters all the way to their final selling destination. The official name for these numbers is 'Quo Vadis Number' (Latin for 'where does it go') It is registered during the manufacturing process and, subsequently, allocated to Montblanc's receiving subsidiaries or agents worldwide.

I've posted this before, so here it is again regarding MB 'serial numbers': At the Boutique they will hand them back over and if you send it to the factory service center, they will send back your pens and a letter stating either way if your pen is genuine or fake. And lastly, Montblanc does not confiscate counterfeit pens. The logo 'PIX' was introduced on the underside of the clip in 1997. Serial #'s are now being reissued or reused, so the same # might be found on 2 different pens made years apart.

There is no database at Montblanc of serial #'s except for limited editions. Some of the #'s started with GE or GER on the first pens to be produced with serial #'s in 1991. Older models will most likly have fewer digits than current production. Serial #'s don't have a specified number of digits.
