For sale I have this rare and lovely Montblanc K232 from the 1940s (probably 1939-42). This is a the short versioning of the No. 232 hence the K (standing for Kurz). The pen nib is made out of palladium since during the war they were not allowed to use gold. This pen has been serviced and is working very well. The celluloid paint has worn off on the barrel a bit giving it a yellow demonstrator look.
