This Montblanc fountain pen uses a piston filling system, I have tested it with water and works as it was designed to. It is in perfect working order and does so very smoothly. This pen has never seen ink and is considered in Mint, New Old Stock condition. 

This fountain pen comes with a Broad nib in 18K two-tone gold, engraved with the imperial monogram of Charlemagne as well as elements of medieval decorations. The nib is stamped with, "2000, 4810, 18K 750 MONTBLANC". The nib point (iridium) measures .92mm when measured with digital calipers. To preserve its pristine condition, I refrained from using ink on the pen, ensuring that the next owner will receive an exceptional writing experience.
