Appearance

I can't believe this product is half a century old.
The shaft has only been lightly polished and is still shiny.
Of course there are no cracks or anything.
I think it is literally a "masterpiece" that can be continued for a long time.
The writing quality and ink flow are excellent, matching this impressively large nib
It seems to be from the 1980s based on the shape of the cap and piston.
It is said that the writing quality at that time was superior to that of modern pens in terms of softness.
The fact that it is no longer in production further explains the value of this product.
Please pick it up and enjoy its wonderful writing style.
The operation of the piston and pen tip has been confirmed and there are no problems at all.
It looks like it will continue to be used for decades to come.
I think this is an item that will last a lifetime.

Our thoughts on the Classic Montblanc

Montblanc, synonymous with fountain pens, has a long and varied history. In modern times, it has become a member of the LVMH Group and has a luxury boutique. However, it had a history of hardship from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Montblanc's position was precarious due to the rise of ballpoint pens, and from the 1960s to the 1980s, the company simplified the materials used and mass-produced them, resulting in a decline in quality. Old Montblanc products that are still being unearthed today have excellent writing feel. However, the quality of the resin is poor. They can suddenly crack.
Many Meisterstuck pens are made of thick resin called precious resin and are in relatively good condition. There are variations on the pen clips, such as "GERMANY", "W-GERMANY", and "no description", and it was only after the 1990s that serial numbers were engraved.
If you doubt the authenticity of the item, try bringing it to a Montblanc boutique and asking them to adjust the writing feel. Fake pens will not be accepted.
All of the items we sell are carefully inspected and tested to ensure they write properly before being sold. However, pens that have been used for half a century still retain the writing habits of their previous owners. If you find that your pen is not writing as you expected, please visit a pen doctor, a professional who will adjust the nib.
