Meisterstück Solitaire Sterling Silver 925 ballpoint pen from Hamburg, Germany, dating to the early 20th century, with a solid silver body and gold-plated clip, nib, and three rings; serial number MI111285, length 12 cm, diameter 1.2 cm, in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
Here we present a great classic of Hamburg craftsmanship, a piece that blends the timeless design of the Meisterstück line with the allure and weight of precious metals: the Montblanc Meisterstück Solitaire Sterling Silver 925 Ballpoint Pen (Pinstripe / Millerighe pattern).
Belonging to the luxurious "Solitaire" family, this pen abandons the classic resin in favor of a body and cap made entirely of solid 925 sterling silver. To further embellish the instrument, there is a refined vertical guilloché engraving (Pinstripe pattern), which not only adds dynamism and shine to the silver, but also offers an exceptional tactile grip. A warm and elegant visual contrast is created by the yellow-gold plated finishes on the clip, the nib collar, and the three institutional rings. Punctures with the “925” hallmark certifying the purity of the precious metal regularly appear on the clip and the barrel.
Operation relies on the classic and smooth continuous twist mechanism for retracting the tip. Your photographs with the instrument disassembled certify the integrity of the internal block.
Let’s now turn to the condition report, which requires maximum transparency to safeguard your auction. Mechanically the pen is perfect and functional. Aesthetically, the instrument presents in good overall condition. Sterling silver is inherently a very “soft” metal prone to marks: as you expertly highlighted in the photographic set, there are several dents and dings scattered on both the lower barrel and the upper part, in addition to the usual micro-scratches (hairlines) from daily use and slight wear to the gold plating. The dome features the iconic white star."
