Montblanc’s Heritage collection, launched in 2016, revived the spirit of the early Rouge et Noir pens. This version, from 2019, is the Rouge et Noir Serpent Marble based on a 1920s hard rubber model. It was originally coined “Red Ripple” because of the swirling marble pattern on its cap and barrel.

The Serpent Marble has a metal cap and barrel featuring a coral lacquered marble finish created with a water transfer that gives every pen its own flowing décor, thus making each unique. The cap crown is a complementary, orange-tinged red resin with the classic Montblanc emblem at its centre in white resin. An engraved serpent coils around the cap crown before descending, head down, to form the clip. This vintage-looking snake is made by a stamping and winding process in a special alloy metal, and its aged look is created using a unique galvanising and stripping process.
