Montblanc - Meisterstück 742 - Fountain pen

A0000003248

The Montblanc Meisterstück 742 is presented in very good overall condition, retaining an excellent appearance and full functionality—particularly noteworthy for a piece of its age.

The black resin barrel and section retain a deep, even shine, with slight surface micro-marks from use, visible only on close inspection and consistent with careful handling. There are no cracks, splits, or deformations.

The gold-tone metal cap with a ribbed pattern is in very good condition, with the finish well preserved and even. It shows only slight surface marks from the passage of time, with no significant loss of plating. The clip remains correctly aligned and springy, and the Montblanc emblem on top of the cap is intact and well defined.

The solid 14C (585) gold nib, medium point, is in excellent structural condition, correctly aligned, with no deformation or unusual wear. It offers smooth, fluid, and consistent writing, true to the classic character of the Meisterstück series. The ebonite feed is clean and functional.

The piston-filling system works correctly, with smooth travel and a good seal, allowing efficient filling from a bottle.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved, well-balanced, fully functional piece, ideal both for collecting and for everyday vintage writing.

It will be shipped in a complimentary box for proper storage.

Happy bidding!
