Description from the seller

MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION 1992 "ERNEST HEMINGWAY":
We present at auction the foundational piece of Montblanc’s modern collecting. Launched in 1992, the "Ernest Hemingway" edition had the honor of being the first in the now legendary "Writers Edition" collection. Finding units in this magnificent state of preservation has become a real challenge for enthusiasts around the world.
The design of this fountain pen is a direct tribute to the iconic Montblanc 139 fountain pen from the 1930s. It has bold, balanced dimensions (13.3 cm in length and a maximum diameter of 1.3 cm). The body is turned in a brilliant coral-red precious resin, which dramatically contrasts with the cap and the lower cone in dark resin.
The metallic details, gold-plated, include a beautiful vintage-style clip. On the cap, as the sole personal ornament, is engraved the signature of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Condition (Expert Review)
We ask bidders to carefully view the photo gallery. The pen is in magnificent aesthetic and functional condition, very well cared for given it is over 30 years old:
Resin and Gold: The coral-red body and the cap maintain a deep, uniform shine. There are no cracks, dents, or deep scratches; only very tiny superficial micro-scratches ("hairs") typical of very light contact. The rings and the clip retain all their gold plating with no evident wear.
Mechanics: The continuous turning mechanism works smoothly to extend and retract the tip. (Note: The writing instrument is delivered as-is, without the original book-form boxes of the edition. It’s possible that the inner ink refill may need replacement in the future).
Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with highly insured international shipping and tracking number.
A huge opportunity to acquire the "Holy Grail" that inaugurated Montblanc’s Writers Editions! Best of luck to all bidders!
