BRAND NEW, LUBRICATED & TESTED Dear future buyer, This piece is in brand new condition and is ready for use, thank you! This is a rare Montblanc Meisterstück mechaincal pencil, companion to the series in the 1970s and 80s! This one has a special mechanism that can also detach from the body for easy access and takes normal graphite leads. I believe this is a great pen for the ones looking to complete their set and match it with their fountain pen or just looking to use and collect special mechanical pencils (due to the mechanism, esthetics and quality). As a vintage objects collector myself, I made sure you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art, using my extensive knowledge and handling them with care, as I would do for myself. I will never give away something I wouldn't want myself, even more so since everything here is part of my own collection. Please Note: - The pen is compatible with modern 1mm leads and is brand new! - The back panel is used to provide a safe cushion for the photographing process - The shipping will be done by courier, with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you. Happy holidays and happy treasure hunting!
