- Slim & Elegant: No. 28 is known for its refined 'slim-line' profile, perfect for a breast pocket or planner.
- Iconic finish: Of course featuring the world-famous white Montblanc star at the top.
Condition and Details
Condition: The pen is in nice vintage condition with light signs of use that are appropriate for its age. The pen has no personal engravings.
