Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery fountain pen, made in Germany in the Fine XX century, with a precious resin body and platinum-plated trim, 12 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, serial MBFF3C9C1, in good condition and in working order, nib in 14k gold rhodium-plated.
Description from the seller
Here we present a model with an exquisitely modern and technological charm, belonging to one of the most iconic and bold collections from the Hamburg-based house: the Montblanc StarWalker Black Mystery Fountain Pen.
The design of this writing instrument breaks with classical schemes thanks to an innovative surface. The body is embellished with an intricate geometric pattern laser-engraved, creating a play of lines and rectangles with strong visual and tactile impact. This contemporary workmanship is highlighted by the contrast with platinum-plated finishes, mirrored polished, present on the distinctive aerodynamically profiled clip and on the smooth grip section. To seal the StarWalker line identity, we find the famous transparent dome on the summit, inside which the Montblanc white star emblem gracefully floats.
The beating heart of this fountain pen is its excellent writing unit: by unscrewing the cap, a beautiful 14-carat solid gold nib (Au585) is revealed. To maintain perfect color harmony with the pen finishes, the nib has been rhodium-plated to give it an elegant silvery tone, and is finely engraved with the Montblanc logo. The filling system is cartridge-based.
Regarding its condition, the item is generally in good shape but requires an important aesthetic clarification. The shaft, grip, and the precious 14K gold nib are in excellent condition and perfectly ready for use. However, as documented with utmost transparency in the last three close-up photos, the cap shows damage. A chip/splinter is visible in the black resin located at the side, right near where the clip attaches. This defect is purely cosmetic and does not affect the cap’s screw closure or the pen’s mechanical writing functionality in any way.
