LUBRICATED & TESTED Perfect gift! Dear future buyer, This piece is maintained and ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful extra-fine-nibbed Montblanc Meisterstück Z-hooded gold nib piston pen. The first reinking will be done by its new owner, I only tested the mechanical flow with test ink then flushed it fully. The pen is not scratched, cracked and is very shiny and clean! The pen was also tested and it flows beautifully! According to the preserved factory sticker and the MB catalogues of the 70s, the nib is extra-fine (E-F class) and of Z - hooded type. 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. Please Note: - The pen is a piston type, without the need for cartridges! You can just dip the pen into any ink bottle and rotate the lever. The piston is smooth! - 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 and happy treasure hunting!
