Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this incredibly rare Montblanc Meisterstuck 161 LeGrand Silver Barley Ballpoint Pen, which comes with a Montblanc presentation box. The pen has been regularly, but carefully used, and is presented in overall lovely condition – it’s offered at a special price, due to there being a chip in the mother-of-pearl snowcap (shown in the photos).
The Silver Barley is one of the rarest non-limited edition Solitaire offerings and was only available for a limited period of time – it’s also incredibly sought-after, and for very good reasons. It’s also worth noting that other Solitaire models aren’t available in LeGrand size.
The barrel and cap are crated from sterling silver, which is then engraved with an intricate guilloche design. The clip has a diamond on it and the appropriate diamond certificate is included. The real star of the show is the mother-of-pearl snowcap, which is rarely see on Montblanc writing instruments, even very limited edition offerings.
Both Germany and serial number markings can be found on the clip ring.
The important details are as follows…
– New Refill
– Serial Number marking on the clip ring
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”.
