Description from the seller
Here we present, as of today, a chromatic and stylistic authority: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux (reference 164). This model represents one of the most sought-after and beloved variants by collectors, since resin colored burgundy (burgundy) was discontinued by the house, making every piece a piece of writing history increasingly hard to find on the market.
The silhouette is the iconic cigar-shaped form of the Meisterstück line, but rendered in a warm, deep burgundy tone that gives the instrument an elegance less austere than classic black, yet decidedly more distinctive. The finishes are plated in yellow gold, a regal color pairing that enhances the brilliance of the precious resin. The design is completed by the white star emblem on the cap top and by the three central rings, the main one bearing the clear engraving "MONTBLANC - MEISTERSTÜCK".
Technically, the pen uses a twist mechanism to extend the refill. As visible in the images of the disassembled piece, the internal architecture is intact and guarantees the German mechanical precision that stands the test of time. Authenticity is confirmed, in addition to the construction details, by the hallmarks on the clip that include the individual serial number and the maker’s mark.
The condition is excellent. The resin retains a mirror-like shine and the gold plating is intact and vivid, free of oxidation or color loss (brassing). Only very slight and inevitable micro-scratches (hairstreaks) due to extremely respectful use are noticeable, visible only against the light. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a discontinued classic in conditions that preserve all its aesthetic authority.
