Product Description
Type Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Product Name Montblanc Writers Edition Alexandre Dumas. The Dumas model had an initial design error where it included the wrong Alexandre Dumas's signature on the cap. This pen is #11336/20000 N (15000 were sold individually and 5000 were sold in sets. The N means that this is a "corrected" replacement cap). A comparison of the signatures and a description of what happened can be found here.
