Montblanc Meisterstück Classique 164 ballpoint pen in Bordeaux resin, made in Germany, with a twist mechanism, 14 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, in good used condition with minor age-related marks and wear to the gold plating on the cone, clip edges and central rings.
Description from the seller
Here we present, with great charm and refinement, a piece that has rightfully earned its place in the history of collecting: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique ballpoint pen (Model 164) in Bordeaux resin. The true added value of this writing instrument is its iconic color. The exquisite Bordeaux (or Burgundy) resin has, in fact, been discontinued for over two decades, making each piece an increasingly rare and sought-after item on the secondary market, especially for those looking for a warm and elegant alternative to classic black.
The body and cap merge into an unmistakable aerodynamic line, embellished by the three classic gold-finished rings. At the summit, proclaiming its belonging to the Olympus of writing, stands the white star emblem. On the clip ring, the engraving "GERMANY" and the serial number are visible, confirming its authenticity. The model is a twist-action ballpoint. The photos of the disassembled piece show the internal brass threading perfectly aligned and clean, guaranteeing smooth and precise mechanical operation. The item is offered individually, without a box.
The condition is good vintage with normal signs of time that attest to its history and daily use. Being a loved and used object, the Bordeaux resin shows physiological micro-scratches. As documented with absolute transparency by the photographs, there is natural wear of the gold plating, visible especially on the cone of the tip, on the lateral edges of the clip, and on the three central rings, where the gilding is lightened. Despite these aesthetic signs due to use, the resin shows no breaks or structural fractures and the pen is intact and ready to write. It is the ideal piece for those who desire the prestige and rarity of the Bordeaux color for everyday use without too many worries.
