Is it true that there is no screw at the end of the Lingmei LX fountain pen, and that the end of the fountain pen I received is just a hexagonal hole?

Transfer: real and fake Lingmei can be identified mainly through the following aspects:?

One, the following identification points new and old versions of the same fake?

Nib: Fake nib: "LAMY" letters printed rough color yellowish-white, the real thing under a certain angle to see the letters slightly brownish-black, fake nib nib shorter than the real thing (as shown in the figure) can also be observed through the relative position of the round hole.

2. Tongue: Fake tongue hairline wider than the real thing, not as detailed as the real thing, may lead to write a sudden leakage of ink writing (as shown), fake tongue back brighter, no numbers in the grooves, the real tongue slightly brown, grooves in the numbers. Tongue front two grooves in the corresponding position of the mold digital number, may also only one side (number less than 10 is only one side)?

3. Paper circle: real goods paper circle font full, bigger and more rounded. Counterfeit paper circle rough font fuzzy thin , especially to see whether the cut surface is flat, fake cut surface is often not, crooked. In addition, the letters on the paper circle real goods and fake goods line spacing is not the same. (see chart)

4. The end of the pen: fake "LAMY" letters engraved shallow and seemingly rough than the real thing.

Two, the fakes appear to improve but can still be used as a point of identification?

1. About the manual and labeling, etc.: the usual low-end LAMY generally no manuals, most of the manuals for the fake. As for the label, counterfeiting is too easy, no matter how the format, whether or not it can be scanned, not as a standard for judging authenticity. The old fake fountain pen label price is labeled as a ballpoint pen (11.9 euros). The new version of the fakes realize this, the owner guesses that the counterfeiting of the English level is extremely lack of, no matter what pen, labeling are uniformly labeled as "orange orange" fountain pen label. And the label font is different from the real thing (see picture).

2. Inker: the old version of the fake on the ink lever font smaller than the real thing, the new version of the fake font size has been almost the same as the real thing. But the letter font there are subtle differences. Real goods on the inking device on both ends of the bumps (small ears) one of the numbers; fake small ears without numbers, fake goods on the inking device end is usually rougher, fake black lever than the real thing thin; real goods of the iron ring is slightly gray, with a little frosted feeling, the fake smooth black and can be very easy to fall off. Fake ink absorption ability is significantly less than the real thing. The red part of the ink absorber of the real one has concentric lines at the end, while the fake one does not. In addition, about the difference between the old and new versions of the real goods, mainly cosmetic differences, the use of the new version of the rotating a little more resistance.

3. keel box: the old version of the fake goods mainly imitation of the first generation of keel box, the performance of the color is lighter, there is no striped line texture, the box is less sturdy, the paper texture is worse, softer. (Other packaging authenticity identification see my other post). The new version of the fake imitation of the second generation of keel box, the center LAMY letter "M" real fake goods have a significant difference (see Figure)?

Three, simple identification method: (a) a dollar coin inserted into the pen cover cross groove, can be put on is the real thing. Put very barely (that is, need to be very hard to plug for the fake), or simply can not put for the fake. Genuine cross gap is generally wider, the coin put down very easily. This method can only try their own hands, the seller picture, if it is fake, there are some can be forced to put up, but put the more reluctant, the picture can not be seen. (B) due to the different internal structure of the pen, ink gallbladder inserted into the pen, the real goods more prominent than the fake (more practical method). Fake goods generally do not take the ink gall bladder, the pen barrel is inserted into the inking device by default.
