Dear future buyer, This piece is in perfectly maintained condition and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful and rare Montblanc Meisterstück ballpoint pen in a very rare deep forest green color resin barrel, from the 1970. It exhibits no dents, scratches or heavy pigmentation. 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. Please Note: - The back panel is meant to support the pen during the photo shoot - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you for your time and happy treasure hunting!
