Thanks very much for looking at this wonderful Montblanc Heritage Collection Rouge et Noir Tropic Brown Fountain Pen, which comes with its Montblanc presentation box (including outers - the label on the outer is correct for the model but a mismatch for the serial number) and unstamped service guide. The pen has been very lightly used and is presented in overall fantastic condition - there is a small ring of darkening to the section by the nib (shown in the photos), but under normal conditions this is not overly noticeable.
The Rouge et Noir name dates back to 1906 and Montblanc have resurrected the name for the 110th anniversary. The most obvious nod to these historical offerings is the winding serpent clip (featuring garnet eyes), which on this model is Champagne gold-coated. The resin on this example is brown, rather than the more traditional black, and here at IZODS we have to say we love the difference! The brown was chosen to represent how vintage black ebonite pens age when in sunny and humid environments.
The 14k medium nib features fine engraving of a serpent and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows...
- 14k Medium Nib
- Montblanc Presentation Box
- Serial Number markings present
