AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This 70 year old Montblanc Monte Rosa fountain pen from the mid 1950s has been lovingly used over time, but is in great working condition! It is deep black with gold trimmings, and has a 14 carat gold Oblique Medium nib that is very flexible in the line width. Please judge for yourselves in the sample writing! The pen is a joy to write with and the nib flows effortlessly across the paper.
The Monte Rosa line of fountain pens were made by the famous German pen maker from 1952 to 1959. The lip of the cap has the characteristic wavy golden trimming of the 1950s Monte Rosa line of pens, and the cap is marked with"Monte Rosa" in cursive writing, and "Montblanc" in a print font. The nib is marked "Monte Rosa, 14C, MONTBLANC" and has the Monte Rosa wavy lines on it as well. The blind cap at the end of the pen is marked with an M, for the medium nib size and the arrow symbol denoting an oblique nib, and 042G, signifying the model and that the nib is made from real gold. The piston works flawlessly and the pen draws ink with no problems.
