Montblanc Bohème fountain pen in black premium resin with gold-plated fittings, 11 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter, origin Germany, produced in 2000–2010, serial IU1470101, in working order and in good used condition.
Description from the seller
At auction we present an icon of engineering and style: the Montblanc Bohème fountain pen, a model celebrated for its compact design and the sophisticated mechanism that embodies the cosmopolitan spirit of the collection. The instrument is made in precious black resin with yellow gold-plated fittings, a classic pairing made unique by the presence of a black synthetic stone (onyx) inlaid on the clip. This detail, together with the domed silhouette, makes the pen a bold personal accessory, perfect for those seeking a distinctive writing instrument easily carried in the pocket.
The true technological heart of this specimen lies in its retractable two-tone nib in 14K gold (585), which retracts into the barrel through a fluid rotating mechanism, allowing the pen to maintain compact dimensions when closed. The nib is finely adorned with the maison’s classic engravings, including the Montblanc emblem and the iconic number "4810". The loading system is cartridge-based, accessible through the hinged end cap, an elegant technical solution that keeps the instrument’s lines clean. Authenticity is certified by the engravings "MONTBLANC - BOHEME" on the central band and by the individual serial number with the inscription "GERMANY" on the clip ring.
Regarding its condition, the item is generally in good condition, showing the aesthetic signs of a tool that has been loved and used. The resin shows widespread micro-scratches due to time, while the gold-plated metal parts show some areas of oxidation and light abrasions, particularly visible on the cap ring and the inner section near the nib’s mouth. It is also important to note the personalization with the initials "K.S." engraved on the side of the cap, a permanent detail that makes the piece unique.
