Dear future buyer, This piece is ready for use, having functional refills and a perfect internal mechanism, thank you! This is a rare Montblanc Multipen in a chrome mother of pearl finish, companion to the Noblesse series in the 90s! This one has a special mechanism that just requires the twist of the barrel to unveil one of the 2 available colors: black and red. The pen uses commonly available D1 refills that can be obtained at any books and pens shop, as well as online. I believe this is a great pen for the ones looking to complete their set and match it with their fountain pen or just looking to use and collect special ballpoint pens (due to the mechanism, esthetics and quality). It shows almost no signs of use, being very shiny and behaving perfectly. 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 compatible with modern D1 refills - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you and happy treasure hunting!
