Description from the seller
Here we present a piece of great charm and refinement, now rightfully part of the history of collecting: the Montblanc Meisterstück Classique (Model 164) ballpoint pen in Bordeaux resin. The true added value of this writing instrument is its iconic coloration. The precious Bordeaux resin (or Burgundy) has, in fact, been out of production for over two decades, making each specimen an increasingly rare and coveted item on the secondary market, especially for those seeking a warm and elegant alternative to classic black.
The body and cap merge into an unmistakable aerodynamic silhouette, adorned with the three classic gold-finished rings. At the top, to signal its belonging to the Olympus of writing, the white star emblem reigns supreme. On the clip ring, the engraving "GERMANY" and the serial number are visible, confirming its authenticity. The model is a twist-action ballpoint pen. The photos of the disassembled piece show the internal brass threading perfectly aligned and clean, guaranteeing smooth and precise mechanical operation. The item is offered individually, without a box.
The condition is good vintage, with normal signs of aging that attest to its history and daily use. Being a beloved and lived-in object, the Bordeaux resin shows physiological micro-scratches. As documented with complete transparency by the photographs, there is natural wear of the gold plating, especially visible on the cone of the nib, the side edges of the clip, and the three central rings, where the gilding appears thinner. Despite these aesthetic signs due to use, the resin shows no cracks or structural breaks and the pen is intact and ready to write. It is the ideal specimen for someone who desires the prestige and rarity of the Bordeaux color for everyday use without too many concerns."} }```
