Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Meisterstück 146 LeGrand Czar Nikolai I Vermeil Rollerball Pen, which comes with a standard Montblanc presentation box. The pen has been regularly, but carefully used, and is presented in overall lovely condition – it looks like the nib has had a little bit of alignment work in the past, but we’ve fully write tested it and it’s a really nice writer.

 

 

 

The Czar Nikolai writing instruments are one of the most famous offerings from the past 30 years and were produced from 1997-2002.

 

 

 

 

They were available in two versions, vermeil and platinum plated. This is the vermeil (gold-plated over sterling silver) version and when contrasted with the vibrant green malachite cap, it really is a very striking writing instrument. Malachite was chosen for this pen because it was the stone of the Russian Czars. The intricate detailing is beautiful and the gold-plated barrel and trim provide a brightness but at the same time never a brash look. The appropriate Germany and serial number markings can be found on the clip ring.

 

 

 

 

The pen is fitted with an 18k medium nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.

With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
