Manufacturer and Year Montblanc, Germany -- circa 1989. (In 1989 they started putting serial numbers on the pens, and this does have a serial number. In 1989 they switched from saying "W GERMANY" and started saying "GERMANY," and this one just says Germany.)
Length 5-3/8".
Filling System Takes international cartridges and converters. A Montblanc piston converter is installed.
Color Black with gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM Montblanc 14k two-tone nib marked 4810. It's firm and smooth with nice tipping material. There's a slight upturn to it at the tip. A small amount of the masking has come off towards the base, where there are some light scratches. The nib has been polished since it's been photographed, removing most of the residue shown.
Condition Excellent condition. The black material is in great condition with barely any handwear. The clip's plating is also very good. The bands look a bit thin but are also holding up with no brassing. The gold collar beneath the nib has some light pitting and plating wear on the edge, which can be seen in the photos. The threaded gold piece that holds the converter has some wear and pitting. Working very well in its original box.
