Description from the seller

We are offering at auction an authentic gem for collectors and music lovers: the prestigious Montblanc Meisterstück "Yehudi Menuhin" ballpoint pen (ID 03778), from the celebrated "Donation Pen" commemorative collection (Special Edition). This magnificent writing instrument pays tribute to the legendary violinist and conductor, combining the German maison’s exceptional craftsmanship with thematic details of unparalleled charm.

The barrel and cap are masterfully crafted from classic, precious black Montblanc resin, elegantly contrasted with rich gold-plated trim. The distinctive and most prized feature of this special edition is its extraordinary clip, finely sculpted in the shape of a violin’s neck and scroll. The wide gold-plated ring at the base of the cap is also embellished with Yehudi Menuhin’s original signature, celebrating the legacy of the great Maestro. The iconic six-pointed white star crowns the top.

In keeping with our customary, rigorous policy of complete transparency, we wish to note two specific details about this lot:

A delicate personalized engraving of the initials "M.D.P." (in an elegant cursive script), positioned on the cap beside the clip.
A noticeable mark/scratch on the resin of the cap, located directly next to the upper gold-plated ring of the clip (clearly documented and highlighted in the enlarged photograph provided in the gallery).

Aside from this cosmetic detail, this example is in very good overall condition. The resin is glossy and sound, the gold plating is bright, and the twist mechanism operates smoothly and works perfectly. The photographs showing the instrument disassembled confirm that the original internal components are perfectly intact and that the ink refill (cartridge) is correctly in place.

Further enhancing and completing this exceptional lot, the pen is offered with its original Montblanc presentation box. An unmissable opportunity to add a piece of great historical and artistic value to your collection—described honestly and ready to write a new page in history.
