But lo and behold, there it was, the Mont Blanc outer box, and in it, the promised items from the auction were inside. I thought the Meisterstuck 146 was smaller than I imagined, which is good since I didn't want something too big to carry around in my shirt pocket (though I will be as careful if I do). Because I'm waiting for the Noodler's Black to come in the mail, I probably won't put ink in it, unless I find a place that sells ink by the bottle. I will however, take it to the closest Mont Blanc boutique to have it inspected and hopefully, validate it's authenticity. Maybe they'll let me exchange it for a different nib if I want (though it's probably going to be a problem since the warranty card isn't stamped), which would be nice, but not necessary. Plus, I've never been in a Mont Blanc boutique, so it is double excitement for me (especially if I'll admit to them how much I actually spent on it).

I'll post pictures once I get it filled with ink...

Just because it didn't come packaged in discareded Rolex boxes doesn't mean anything.
