Montblanc Starwalker Black Mystery rollerball pen, made of resin/polyester with stainless steel components, origin Germany, 14 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter, serial XU1126805, in good used condition and in working order.
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 inspection. 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 star floating inside.
Below is a transparent report detailing 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 and minimal signs of handling typical for time on a piece that has been enjoyed with care. It is completely free of deep dings, dents, cracks, or lacquer loss.
Platinum Details: The platinum adornment elements, including the front grip section, the rings, and the conical nib, appear solid, gleaming, and in very good condition, showing only light superficial cleaning lines.
Clip and Engravings: The platinum clip is perfectly aligned, clean, and without personalizations of names. At the base of it, on the cap ring, the classic brand engraving "MONTBLANC" can be clearly and sharply seen, together with the piece’s individual serial number laser-engraved cleanly.
Upper Dome: The characteristic transparent dome crowning the StarWalker line remains pristine, with excellent clarity highlighting the Montblanc star suspended inside.
Functional Status and Writing System
Closing Mechanism: As it is 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 the piece is unscrewed, the polished metal grip section appears flawless, with clean internal threads and operable. The conical tip guides the refill securely and with no play. As is customary with collectible pieces, the status or current ink fill 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 desired, technical, and exclusive variations in the StarWalker range, ideal both to enrich a demanding collection and to confer maximum distinction to daily writing.
Care Recommendations
Surface Protection: Since this is a piece with a fine engraving on precious lacquer and mirror-polished metal parts, it is strongly recommended to avoid storing it loose next to metallic objects such as keys or coins that could alter the polished finish. Individual padded cases or sleeves are advised.
Exterior Cleaning: Clean the lacquer and platinum elements using only a dry soft microfiber cloth (never use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive chemical products that could dull the shine or compromise the dome resin components).
Storage: Keep the piece protected from direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight or intense 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 safety during transport.
Happy bidding!
