Montblanc Starwalker Black Mystery rollerball pen in resin/polyester and stainless steel, manufactured in Germany, 14 cm long with a 1.2 cm diameter, serial number XU1126805, in good used condition and fully functional.
Description from the seller
A0000005309
The piece presents an excellent overall and aesthetic condition, preserving intact the magnetism of its avant-garde design, its distinguished presence, and its full functionality after review. This edition stands out for its complex laser-engraved geometric pattern on black lacquer, creating a subtle three-dimensional contrast with the platinum finishes and the mythical transparent dome with the Montblanc floating star.
Below is a transparent report on the current state of the piece:
Aesthetic and Exterior Condition
Body and Cap: The black lacquered surface with the characteristic engraving "Black Mystery" maintains a magnificent shine. Upon close inspection, it shows micro-scratches on the surface and minimal handling marks typical of time passage in a piece that has been enjoyed with care. It is completely free of deep dents, dings, cracks, or losses in the lacquer.
Platinum Details: The platinum-adorned elements, including the front grip section, the rings, and the conical nib, are firm, gleaming, and in very good condition, showing only light surface cleaning lines.
Clip and Engravings: The platinum clip is perfectly aligned, clean, and without any personalized names. At the base of it, on the cap band, the classic "MONTBLANC" engraving can be seen with absolute clarity and the individual serial number of the piece laser-engraved cleanly.
Top Dome: The characteristic transparent dome that crowns the Starwalker line is impeccably preserved, with excellent sharpness highlighting the Montblanc star suspended inside.
Functional State and Writing System
Closing Mechanism: Being the rollerball version of the series, the cap closes via a high-precision screw system that fits smoothly and firmly into the body.
Grip Section: When unscrewing the piece, the polished metal gripping section appears flawless, with clean internal threads and operable. The conical tip guides the refill securely and without play. As is usual with collectible pieces, the current ink refill state or charge is not guaranteed, and it is ready to house a standard Montblanc rollerball or fineliner refill according to the buyer’s preference.
Overall, this is one of the most desirable, technical, and exclusive variations of the Starwalker range, ideal both for enriching a demanding collection and for bestowing maximum distinction to daily writing.
Conservation Recommendations
Surface Protection: Since this is a piece with fine engraving on precious lacquer and mirror-polished hardware, it is strongly advised to avoid storing it loose next to metal objects such as keys or coins that could alter the polished finish. Individual padded cases or sleeves are recommended.
Exterior Cleaning: Clean the lacquer and platinum elements using only a dry microfiber soft cloth (never use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive chemicals that could dull the shine or compromise the dome resin components).
Storage: Keep the piece protected from direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat sources to ensure long-term preservation of its materials.
Shipping Note: It will be sent in a courtesy box for perfect protection and maximum security during transport.
Happy bidding!
