Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Meisterstück 145 Classique 75th Anniversary Special Edition Fountain Pen, which comes with its large 75th anniversary presentation box, CD and stamped service guide – confirming first purchase on 16th September 1999. The pen has been regularly used, but is still presented in overall lovely condition.
The 75th anniversary pens were released in 1999 to commemorate 75 years of the Meisterstuck range (launched in 1924). There were two main editions available, one being the unlimited yellow gold ‘special edition’ pens and then the rose gold ‘limited edition’ pens, of which only 1924 examples were produced. This is the yellow gold special edition.
To distinguish these anniversary editions from the usual offerings, you’ll find a second gold band around the top of the clip, in which is mounted a diamond and the inscription ’75 years of passion and soul’ – with the diamond being the ‘o’ in passion.
The pen is fitted with a 14k medium nib (the 75th anniversary nibs are glorious!) and being a Classique, it’s a cartridge / converter (supplied), so you have the best of both worlds when it comes to ink.
The important details are as follows…

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”.
