Description from the seller

For sale: a splendid and exceptional example of a vintage Montblanc fountain pen, size 00 "Baby", dating from the 1920s.
It is the smallest and most sought-after size produced by the German house, a true piece of writing history.
Model: Montblanc Safety Filler size 00 "Baby".
Period: 1920s.
Finish: smooth gold-plated finish, typical of vintage manufacture for the Italian and European market.
Marks and Puns: Clear and legible engraving "MONTBLANC" at the base of the cap.
Genuine details: The cap features a top ring for a chain and the iconic six-point Montblanc star on the top, in good condition (slight natural crazing that attests to its absolute originality).
Nib: Original and contemporaneous Montblanc 14-carat gold nib.
Dimensions: as shown in the photo.
Condition of the item: Aesthetically the pen presents itself in good condition; the finish is intact and free of dents or obvious damage.
Technical note for collectors: The internal rotation mechanism for nib release is currently blocked (requires the classic restoration intervention and possible internal cleaning from crystallized ink residues).
The pen is sold as-is, as a collectible piece to restore or display.
