I've got a question too:
(Rather than wait, I'll ask here...someone might know)

I've heard (but not seen) that montblanc makes
a pen with a 5 point star (instead of the 6 point).

Because the 6 pointed star represents the Star of David
(a known jewish symbol), montblanc can't sell pens in
some countries.

I know Montblanc is named after the highest mountain in
Europe, Mont Blanc (with it's snow topped peak), but
has anyone seen a 5 pointed (authentic/not fake) pen?

I actually dont know of many pen foums, but some montblanc pens are worth a ton. Also, Cross makes and had some really pricy pens.

I've lost a few of my best pens... Had a nice Parker Duofold and a bling-bling silver Dunhill.

Oh well...

No more nice pens for me.

good luck on the search!
