Description from the seller
A0000005296
Article: MONTBLANC fountain pen in brown tiger-eye swirled celluloid with gold trim
Reference / Edition: Montblanc 242 G
Length: 13 cm closed (approx)
Diameter: 1.2 cm (approx)
Period: 1950s (German manufacture, c. 1950-1954)
Materials: Body and cap in brown swirled tiger-eye type celluloid, paddle-shaped clip and double cap-band in gold metal, matching celluloid section, nib in 14-karat gold (585) with engraving of the Montblanc logo, piston filler with knurled button under the rear cap.
Condition: Good condition for its age. The celluloid retains shine and the marbling is very vivid, with no cracks or visible deformations; micro-scratches from use are scattered across the body and cap. In the gold-plated parts there is wear to the finish, more noticeable on the clip edges and the cap bands. The nib appears intact and well aligned, with the tines joined.
