Product Description
Type Vintage piston filler fountain pen
Product Name 344 (it's written on the knob). The 3 indicates that it is one of Montblanc's so-called third-tier pens, the next 4 means that it has a piston-filling mechanism, and the final 4 is the nib size. Note that even though these were Montblanc's "economy" pens in the 1950s, the quality is still quite high.

Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Piston filler, tested and working well. We guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
