Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this wonderful Montblanc Imperial Dragon Limited Edition Fountain Pen, which comes with its Montblanc presentation box (including outer) and stamped booklets – 2nd April 1996. Only 5000 were produced (including sets) and this one is number 4959. The pen has been lightly used and is presented in overall fantastic condition.

Launched in 1993, the Imperial Dragon is a pen that some consider part of the Writers Edition series, but in truth it was an ‘additional’ pen created on the back of the lack of success for the Agatha Christie in Asian markets, due to the use of the snake clip. So Montblanc spun out a new version, called the Imperial Dragon, which was only available in Asia and featured a stunning sterling silver dragon clip, with ruby eyes. Because the dragon was longer than the snake used on the Agatha Christie, the length of the cap was increased to accommodate it.

These are now very rare and particularly sought after from fans and collectors alike.

The pen is fitted with an 18k broad nib, which continues the dragon theme and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.

The important details are as follows…

With every writing instrument 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”.
