MONTBLANC WRITERS EDITION 1992 “ERNEST HEMINGWAY” BALLPOINT PEN:
We are pleased to present for auction the founding piece of modern Montblanc collecting. Launched in 1992, the “Ernest Hemingway” edition had the distinction of being the first in what is now the legendary “Writers Edition” collection. Finding examples in this magnificent state of preservation has become a real challenge for enthusiasts around the world.

The design of this ballpoint pen is a direct tribute to the iconic Montblanc 139 fountain pen of the 1930s. It has bold, well-balanced dimensions (13.3 cm long and 1.3 cm at its widest point). The barrel is turned from lustrous coral-red precious resin, which contrasts dramatically with the dark resin cap and lower cone.

The gold-plated metal details include a beautiful vintage-style clip. The cap bears the Nobel Prize in Literature laureate’s signature as its sole personal adornment.

Condition (Expert Inspection)
Bidders are kindly asked to examine the photo gallery carefully. The pen is in magnificent cosmetic and working condition, especially well cared for considering it is over 30 years old:

Resin and Gold Plating: The coral-red barrel and cap retain a deep, even shine. There are no cracks, dents, or deep scratches; only tiny superficial micro-scratches (“hairlines”) consistent with very occasional handling. The rings and clip retain all their gold plating, with no apparent wear.

Mechanism: The twist mechanism operates very smoothly to extend and retract the tip. (Please note: The writing instrument is supplied as is, without the edition’s original book-shaped boxes. The interior ink refill may need to be replaced in the future.)

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packed, and shipped with comprehensive insurance and international tracking.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire the “Holy Grail” that launched Montblanc’s Writers Editions! Good luck to all bidders!
