Montblanc - Masterpiece 744-N - Fountain pen

A0000003554

The pen is in very good overall condition, distinguished by its elegant gold-tone finish with a deep, even sheen, reflecting appropriate care over time. The barrel and cap retain an excellent appearance, with superficial signs of use visible only on close inspection and under certain lighting conditions, consistent with light and careful use.

The clip retains its structural firmness and correct alignment, with no deformations, and remains fully functional. The ring engravings are crisp and well defined, indicating careful preservation with no significant wear to the inscriptions.

The 14-karat gold (14C) nib is in very good condition, with no visible deformation to the tines. It shows slight marks consistent with writing, which do not affect its performance. The feed appears clean and correctly aligned, ensuring an adequate ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is supplied in proper working order, ready to use.

The filling system operates smoothly, with precise action and no play, further attesting to the set’s good mechanical condition.

A slight patina and minimal isolated marks are visible on the gold-tone finish, especially in areas of frequent contact. These do not detract from its overall appearance in any way, but rather add character to the piece.

As the original box is not available, the pen will be shipped in a complimentary presentation box for proper storage. Happy bidding!

Care recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, we recommend using high-quality inks specifically formulated for fountain pens and avoiding pigmented inks. If the pen will not be used for some time, clean it with lukewarm water and dry it completely before storing. Keep it in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.
