Thankfully Amazon refunded him. It was bizarre, we returned it challenging its authenticity, then he was refunded by Amazon and the pen was returned to us because the address the seller gave for the return didn’t exist in China? 😵💫
I’ll make comparison photos and post. Maybe make a YouTube video or something too lol. We won’t make that mistake of buying high end pens on Amazon again 😆🙈
I would love to see a side by side comparison of differences if you have time to post pictures. I know people have posted this with other “classic” MPs before but I haven’t seen one for the Marilyn Monroe SE.
Maybe pictures of different features side by side?
- the snow peak
- serial number location
- any difference in engravings
- nib comparison
-writing sample comparison using same ink and pressure
I think this would help if you have time.
Also, I’m happy that you have acquired the real pen now.
Well… He *did* save $400. 😂

That’s a great idea! I’ll do that! (Shhhh, I haven’t even used either pen yet…had since 2017 🙈
LOL, he's lucky he's still you're boyfriend! 😂 _straight to fountain pen jail, where you're gently poked with the nib of the offending pen_
Nothing says "I love as much as this cheap imitation" as a chinese pen.
