Description from the seller
In this auction we present a famous classic of writing signed Montblanc: the Meisterstück Classique Roller Pen (Model 163) Gold Line. The body and cap of this iconic instrument, characterized by its sleek cigar-shaped form, are made from traditional black precious resin. The deep black of the resin creates an elegant contrast with the bright yellow-gold plated finishes, which include the classic teardrop clip and the three institutional rings. Crowned at the top of the cap is the renowned six-point white star, an unquestionable symbol of the maison.
Technically speaking, it is a Roller (rollerball), featuring a removable cap that can be conveniently slipped onto the end of the barrel during use. As documented in the photos of the pen disassembled, the instrument uses the practical Montblanc standard roller or fineliner refills, easily replaceable by unscrewing the grip section from the main body.
Regarding its condition, the item presents in generally good condition, but with one fundamental feature to declare openly. The precious resin maintains good luster, showing the physiological micro-scratches (hairlines) resulting from normal use. ATTENTION: On the side of the cap there is a clear and deep personalized engraving that reads the inscription “VNU NLG 2.75 billion.” This engraving, very likely commemorating an important financial agreement or corporate milestone (NLG stood for Dutch guilders), personalizes and strongly characterizes the aesthetics of the object.
