That's what I suspected. I doubt whether MB engages in that practice
any longer.
Interesting, considering even the nazis didn't care about the star.
But if I were to find someone selling those, I would raise a major
stink, AND I would probably boycott MB if I knew they were making them.
In fact, I suspect that far more "six-pointers" use MB's than do
"triangles."
Furthermore, it may disturb the triangles to see a Bernstein or
Menuhin (both well-known six-pointers) MB pen.
So maybe they boycott MB altogether these days.

Star has six points. Something about marketing to Arabs, who are not well disposed to six-pointed stars. Unbelievable, huh?

Why would a Montblanc pen have a triangle rather than a star?
