Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery ballpoint pen in precious resin with platinum plating, made in Germany in the Fine 20th Century, 12 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, serial MBKD5FNV5, in excellent condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
In this auction we present a specimen with a distinctly modern and technologically chic appeal, belonging to one of the most iconic and bold collections from the Hamburg house: the Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery Ballpoint Pen.
The design of this writing instrument breaks with classic norms thanks to an innovative surface. The body is embellished with an intricate geometric pattern laser-engraved, creating a play of lines and rectangles with a strong visual and tactile impact. This 'mysterious' and contemporary workmanship is masterfully highlighted by the contrast with platinum-plated finishes, mirror-polished, present on the distinctive aero-dynamic clip profile, on the structural rings and on the tip cone. To seal the line’s identity, we find the famous transparent dome on the summit, inside which the Montblanc white star emblem floats magically.
From a technical standpoint, the item is a ballpoint pen equipped with the reliable twist mechanism. As visible in the photos showing the pen disassembled, the instrument uses the classic Montblanc ballpoint refills, easily sourced and replaceable by unscrewing the front section from the barrel. On the clip ring is regularly inscribed the alphanumeric serial code (clearly visible in one of the close-up shots) that attests to its authenticity.
The conservation state of the object is to be considered in excellent overall condition. The laser-engraved surface shows no chips or structural defects, keeping intact its geometric charm. The platinum finishes are bright and gleaming, showing only the physiological and nearly imperceptible micro-scratches (hairlines) resulting from normal careful use. The upper transparent dome is crystal clear and the floating star is intact.
