StarWalker Black Mystery ballpoint pen, in precious resin with platinum-plated detailing, manufactured in Germany in the Fine XX century, serial VW1329820, 12 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, in excellent condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
state-of-the-art of the StarWalker collection at the level of aesthetic craftsmanship of the highest artisanry: the Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery Ballpoint Pen.
This variant, now out of production and highly sought after by collectors, stands out for the extraordinary decoration that envelops the entire body and cap. The traditional glossy black resin is here replaced by a solid lacquered body, on which an intricate laser engraving with a platinum finish has been applied. The geometric, asymmetric motif, reminiscent of digital data flows or microchip architecture, gives the instrument a deeply hi-tech look and an exceptional tactile grip.
The contrast between the deep black of the lacquering and the brightness of the platinum in the engravings and metal fittings (clip and rings) is masterful. To crown it all, the iconic transparent dome on the top is present, where the Montblanc white star emblem floats, an unmistakable signature of the StarWalker line. The mechanism is guaranteed by a fluid rotating (twist) system and, as the photos of the disassembled instrument show, the impressive brass threading is present, a synonym of absolute robustness and authenticity. The pen is fitted with its original Montblanc refill.
The condition is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The lacquering and the complex laser-engraved motif are intact and perfectly legible, with no color loss or structural dents; only the normal, physiological micro-scratches (hairlines) due to normal handling are visible. The platinum plating is bright and free of oxidation. The serial code is regularly engraved on the clip ring.
