Unused, tested & lubricated ( fountain pen specialty silicone oil + amorphous silica) Perfect gift! Dear future buyer, This piece is brand new, maintained and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful unused extra-fine-nibbed Montblanc Meisterstück Z-hooded gold nib piston pen. The first inking will be done by its new owner, I only tested the mechanical flow with testing ink, then flushed it fully. This pen is great for anyone looking for an out of the factory experience with a vintage Montblanc pen. The nib is 18K gold, specific to the top line Meisterstück models, and is very smooth and pleasurable in writing. The pen is not scratched, cracked and is very shiny and clean! The pen was also tested and it flows beautifully! According to the MB catalogues and to the preserved factory sticker of the 70s, the nib is medium (M class) and of Z - hooded type. As a vintage objects collector myself, I made sure you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art, using my extensive knowledge and handling them with care, as I would do for myself. I will never give away something I wouldn't want myself, even more so since everything here is part of my own collection. Please Note: - The pen is a piston type, without the need for cartridges! You can just dip the pen into any ink bottle and rotate the lever. The piston is smooth! - The back panel is used to provide a safe cushion for the photographing process - The shipping will be done by courier, with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you. Happy holidays and happy treasure hunting!
