Montblanc Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux ballpoint pen in precious resin from Germany, model 164 with twist mechanism, 14 cm long and 1 cm in diameter, serial KH2097410, in good vintage condition with minor signs of aging and wear, offered individually without a box.
Description from the seller
In this auction we present a piece of great charm and refinement, now rightfully part of the history of collecting: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique ballpoint (Model 164) in Bordeaux resin. The true added value of this writing instrument is its iconic coloration. The exquisite Bordeaux resin (or Burgundy) has, in fact, been discontinued for over two decades, making each piece increasingly rare and sought after on the secondary market, especially by those seeking a warm and elegant alternative to classic black.
The body and cap blend into an unmistakable aerodynamic silhouette, adorned with the three classic rings with a gold finish. At the summit, signifying its place among the gods of writing, the white star emblem sits proudly. On the clip ring you can see the inscription "GERMANY" and the serial number, confirming its authenticity. The model is a twist-action ballpoint.
Photos of the disassembled piece show the internally threaded brass screw 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 wear that attest to its history and daily use. Being a loved and used item, the Bordeaux resin shows natural micro-scratches on the surface. As clearly documented by the photographs, there is natural wear of the gold plating, visible especially on the nib cone, the side edges of the clip, and the three central rings, where the gilding has worn thin. Despite these aesthetic signs from use, the resin shows no breaks or structural cracks, and the pen is intact and ready to write. It is the ideal specimen for those who desire the prestige and rarity of the Bordeaux color for everyday use without too many worries.
