Montblanc StarWalker Midnight Black Rollerball, made in Germany of fine black resin, serial MW1988248, circa 20th century, 14 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, in excellent working order with its original presentation case.
Description from the seller
At auction we present an authentic jewel of contemporary writing signed Montblanc: the StarWalker Midnight Black rollerball pen.
This writing instrument perfectly embodies the pioneering and authoritative spirit of the German maison, blending cutting-edge technical design with the timeless elegance of absolute black.
The body and cap are crafted in fine black resin, highly polished and deep, exuding a mirrored shine under every light. The finishes are entirely ruthenium-plated (a rare metal of the platinum family with a dark, browned hue), giving the pen its distinctive and sophisticated "Midnight Black" appearance. The centerpiece detail, signature of the StarWalker line, graces the top of the cap: a translucent smoke-gray dome where the Montblanc white star emblem seems to float in space against an intense black background, simulating a view of Earth from deep space. On the cap ring the inscription "MONTBLANC" is clearly engraved, accompanied by the individual serial number on the clip ring, guaranteeing absolute originality.
The specimen is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. The black resin retains its original luster, free of significant scratches or deep signs of wear. The ruthenium plating is bright and uniform, with no oxidation or color loss. The cap mechanism is smooth and secure. The pen comes complete with its original accessories: the black Montblanc StarWalker presentation case and the coordinated outer cardboard sleeve, as shown in the photographic documentation. A piece ready for immediate use or to be added to a high-end collection.
