Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Monte Rosa 042 Fountain Pen, which comes with an izods presentation box. The pen has been carefully used over the years and is presented in lovely condition – there is a little bit of wear to the gold-plated trim.
The Monte Rosa pens are from an era when Montblanc produced myriad of models at different price points and for specific target markets. Manufactured during the 1950s, the Monte Rosa was at the time at lower-end model, but time has shown these to be delightful writing instruments. The barrel and cap are crafted from black resin, with the trim being gold-plated. The Monte Rosa name is engraved on the cap and 042 is heatstamped on the piston cone – this model had a steel nib, with the 042G having a gold nib.
The pen is fitted with a fine steel nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled 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”.
