Description from the seller

In this listing we present an authentic Hamburg-made classic, uniting the compact, sinuous proportions typical of this line with a touch of warm elegance: the Montblanc Bohème Rouge (Ruby) Ballpoint Pen.

Unlike the more stringent Meisterstück line, the Bohème collection stands out for its more “bulbous” and pocket-friendly design, which guarantees an extremely ergonomic and comfortable grip. The body of this ballpoint model is crafted in traditional glossy black precious resin, highlighted by rich finishes plated in yellow gold.

The detail that instantly draws the eye and gives its name to this specific variant is the splendid red gem (synthetic ruby) cut into a rectangular shape, expertly set on the clip. This warm splash of color creates a magnificent contrast with black and gold, turning the pen into a true pocket jewel. The nib extension mechanism is a twist‑type, smooth and precise; as your photos of the disassembled pen show, the brass mechanics are perfect and currently mount an original Montblanc refill.

The condition is assessed as excellent. The black resin features a deep mirror polish, free of chips, cracks, or noticeable scratches; only the physiological and almost imperceptible micro-scratches (hairlines) typical of careful use are present. The gold plating on the rings and the clip is warm, vivid, and free of oxidation. The red stone is firmly set and intact. To guarantee total originality, the individual serial number is regularly engraved on the clip ring.
