Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery ballpoint pen with a precious resin body plated in platinum, made in Germany in the late 20th century, 12 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, serial VW1329820, in excellent condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
ultra-modern from the StarWalker collection at a level of aesthetic workmanship of the highest craftsmanship: the Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery Ballpoint Pen.
This variant, now out of production and highly sought after by collectors, stands out for its extraordinary decoration that wraps the entire body and cap. The traditional glossy black resin is here replaced by a solid lacquered structure, on which an intricate laser engraving with a platinum finish has been applied. The geometric and asymmetrical motif, reminiscent of digital data flows or microchip architecture, gives the instrument a deeply hi-tech appearance and an exceptional tactile grip.
The contrast between the deep black of the lacquer and the brilliance of the platinum of the engravings and metal finishes (clip and rings) is masterful. To crown it all, the iconic transparent dome at the top cannot be missing, where the Montblanc white star emblem floats, the unmistakable signature of the entire StarWalker line. Operation is guaranteed by a fluid twist mechanism, and as the photos of the disassembled instrument show, the substantial brass threading is present, a symbol of absolute robustness and authenticity. The pen mounts its original Montblanc refill.
The condition is to be considered generally excellent. The lacquer and the complex laser-engraved motif are intact and perfectly legible, with no loss of color or structural dents; only the normal and physiological micro-scratches (hairlines) due to normal handling are noticeable. The platinum plating is bright and free of oxidation. The serial code is regularly engraved on the clip ring.
