Filling System Piston filler. It has been tested and is working well.
Color Black and white resin. The black cap is faceted and the barrel is a mix of black and white resin. The white part has a guilloche pattern to inspire thoughts of quill pens. Just beneath the white is a 1/4" gold plated band with designs to represent different Shakespearean plays. Like with many of the pens in this series, William Shakespeare's signature is etched into the cap.
Nib Medium 18k Nib. It's very smooth and writes like a medium-fine. We generally find Montblanc nibs to run narrow and the barrel sticker and box both indicate medium. The nib is slightly springy and has the Globe Theatre carved into its face.
Condition New, Mint condition. The pen has not been used and has its original barrel sticker. The pen ships in all of its original packaging, however it is not sealed.
