Color Black cap, section, and end piece with a white marble body. It has lots of gold plated trim and the fine bands have designs. Alexandre Dumas's (the correct one) signature is to the right of the clip.
Nib Fine 18k Nib. It's very smooth and writes like a narrow fine. We generally find Montblanc nibs to run narrow.The nib is slightly springy and is decorated with rhodium masking and a fleur-de-lis imprint. The masking looks great.
Condition Excellent + condition, in box, with paperwork. This is a hefty pen with a gorgeous color pattern and design. There is a scratch just under the ball of the clip and one to the left of the end of the clip. There is a little cluster of small scratches on the clip mount band. The barrel and trim are beautiful. The imprints are clear. The box is in excellent condition.
